Now I understand. Yes, I can see where it is going to be trouble when
someone isn't paying attention to what they are doing. I think special
roles will fix most of the problems though. Say Bob Jones has two tags I
want to run together, but his wife Sally is only attached to one. If I use
a role sentence to string Bob's together, that shouldn't affect Sally's
sentences at all.

For me, if I use this feature in this way, I would create a special role to
indicate that I need to keep the two tags together.

Teresa,

By "discrete" event I mean the user adds a tag which is unique and
independent from all other tags and in this tag is "entered information"
namely sentence(s) and memo. To the program the tag/event such as birth,
marriage death, burial or any other tag is unique unto itself.

In our mind it may not be, but to the program it does not hold hands, as
in the case of sentences, with any other tag. It stands on its own feet
when the information is output. The only relationship it has with other
tags/events is its output placement order.

In our minds eye, one tag may be related to another but to the program
they are independent discrete tags. The outputting may have these tags'
information fall contiguous but that is the luck of the draw, not a
requirement of the program. Should the user add or change another tag which
causes it to be placed between these two "minds eye contiguous tags" well
...

Users beware, the program as it is presently designed cannot support this
"minds eye" requirement. (a sentence variable in one tag affect a specific
sentence of another tag)

Should such a variable(s) be supported, I have reservations as there is no
outputting predictability.

Donald,
I am sorry, but could you explain what you mean by discrete events and
"enter information". None of this makes sense to me. I am trying to follow
the train of thought, but I don't understand your terms.
