-Handle series ending in event
+Contrary to the initial FHRecorder specifications, series *can* begin and end with characters other than brackets.
+
+1) A data series can begin on anything but an ending bracket or a pipe. If a series begins with an event then we assume 'no pith'.
+
+2) A data series can end on anything but a beginning bracket, a pipe, or a period. If a series ends on an event then we assume 'no bark'.
+
+These new specifications cover standard 'data series' files. However, there are also 'composite' files where there are no brackets at all and series can begin and end on pipes too. We are *not* supporting the editing/creating of these in FHRecorder but we should attempt to intercept and explain this with the 'file checking' screen.
