Made a start on the first few pages. Hope it's looking OK.

Hi @Wychbury ,
Yeah looks great - thanks!

Hi, re page 6831. A series of tally’s (4 uprights struck through to give a count of 5.) Should I log those as [DIAG] or count the tally’s and enter total figure e.g 8 for 1st Q robur count.?

Hi @Wychbury,
Firstly, apologies for the slow reply, I've been on leave.

If it's quicker and easier for you, feel free to leave as you have done, just with the [DIAG] tag. We'll have to do some tidying up of the data at some point and establish how to better handle these, as I suspect there will lots across all the notebooks. I've had a quick look at how others have been working around the same issues and there are a couple of different approaches. You could do something like [DIAG]5[DIAG] (5 being the total tally number for example) or these could also be viewed as tabulated data, so you could record occurrences as [TABLE] - see the transcription guidelines for further info on doing that:

Any one of those methods we'll be able to pick up on at a later date.

All the best,
Andy
