I had suggested that, as a compromise between Maedhros's desire for simplicity and my desire for distinction, we keep normalization separate but merge outline expansion with grammatical insertions. Maedhros, would this be better in your view than keeping all three distinct? If so, I think we should stick with underlining and get rid of / /.

I can certainly live with that.

Searching again for this Thread, I decisded that I would bring up in front again.

Aiwendil, could you be so kind and make this sticky? I think its content can help any one new to the project to speed up his understanding of our texts.

P.S.: If the project would start again from scrap, I would now rather use underlining for text that is delated and {...} for text inserted for gramatical or metrical reason. The simple reason is that inserts are most often very short, while deletion can be long parts of text, which then in our system are dificult to recognise.
But to change that long standing system now would only bring more confusion.

Good idea. And I agree about underlining and brackets - at this point, it would cause far too much confusion.
