Do you have any suggestions on how to implement hypermeter: when a period has an extra syllable ending in a vowel or m which is elided into the first word of the following period, often with -que words?

aerea cui gradibus surgēbant līmina nexaeque
aere trabēs, foribus cardō strīdēbat aēnīs.

What's lengthened in those examples?

The first line has an extra syllable, so the "que" on the first line is elided to the "ae" in the next line.

We don't really have the technology to handle that, dang. There's no way for two lines to interact like this in our current system.

I think we should just treat these as defective lines, at least for now.

I am going to add the ability to add "comments" to the analyzer markup so we could in theory record the hypothesized hypermetric in a comment field.
