Rule 11.1 - ID: stacked_MODA1
Applies To
Expressions that are modified above by a symbol.
Description
Expressions modified by a symbol above are indicated by stating 1) the modified above indicator, 2) the expression being modified, 3) the modified-by indicator, and then 4) the name of the modifying symbol
How this rule may change:
In the future, we may have a predefined list of symbols that can use this rule. There may be another rule added that allows transcriptions of symbols to use this rule.
