Not sure why this came to me, but I didn't want to reply without consulting the wider group. Am I correct that the use of superscripts is not required?<br><br>Would someone like to respond to this message?<br><br> John<br>

in the rule 7b9 the signatures, put superindice at numbers, for example: [A]³ B-C² D¹ 1-8² <br>but in the library we use CDS/ISIS and just admit ascii code only until alt+255, and we can't to write numbers like superindice 4 or 6 or 8.<br>
<br>We see that some libraries had use *. For example: [A]3 B-C2 D1 1-8*2<br><br>Is correct to use this notation form? or, there is another way to write the notation for signatures?<br><br>Thank you very much.<br><br>PS: Sorry for my english.<br clear="all">
