Yes, I did. I was just misunderstanding what people were saying since I could
not actually see what they were on about. I do not regard the scanning of
prosody as being part of the letters. Bob specifically mentions characters,
not extraneous informatuion, which is not part of the letter.
E.g.:
primus ibi ante omnes
pronounced:
primus ib' ant' omnes
is complete without the information about the metre.
