The outside bar is interesting because the way it is annotated it seems that you first start with a LTL and then clone that one to get the RTL. Normally you always start with the RTL. From an annotation point of view the question is also do you ALWAYS draw both of those LTLs? Or depending on the close (or other criteria) do you only draw one of them? What implications does it have for drawing volume gaussians? There is also this "reset" thing. Which means (guessing here) that when the OB appears you reset your sequence and restart annotating from the OB. But I see more often that you don't reset but realign your previous RTL to the low or high of the OB. What? One bar can cause so many questions?
Seems to me that you are not considering bar 1 and bar 2 as one bar, as Jack suggests when a sym appears. My interpretation of "treat as one bar" is that we must wait until then next bar forms before we can decide how to draw an rtl. If the next bar is also a sym then I presume we wait for the next bar, etc. Perhaps Jack could clarify.
