64S-66B-22

Online fonts have a few weaknesses. An alternative to enlarging is to switch to another font. At regular size, the underlined lower case "g" shows up more clearly, for example, in Courier and Arial, respectively:

64S-66B-22 [E e24 B27 b=M50 G57 B69 Q73 g89] "++e

64S-66B-22 [E e24 B27 b=M50 G57 B69 Q73 g89] "++e

The italic B mingles poorly in Courier, so two of many other options are: (1) switch back to Times for just the B or (2) switch to Courier (or Arial) just for the g.

I like your use of = (the equals sign) in b=M50 (instead of b50 M50). I've used it routinely when the top two plays are exactly tied but somehow it hadn't occurred to me to use it for two weaker plays that are exactly tied to each other. You have contributed to the efficiency of nacbrac formatting.

Unless someone has a better idea (or objects), I might start using & (the ampersand) instead of ++ as the symbol for XGR++.
