Hi Nick,
Thank you very much. I have two followup questions. Since Scenario B is
permissible, I believe the following two scenarios should also be allowed.
(Just wanted to confirm this:)

Scenario C (for white matter edits):

1. recon-all -s <subject> -autorecon1 -autorecon2
2. edit wm.mgz (
http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/WhiteMatterEdits)
3. recon-all -s <subject> -autorecon2-wm -autorecon3

Scenario D (for pial edits):
1. recon-all -s <subject> -autorecon1 -autorecon2
2. edit brainmask.mgz (
http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/PialEdits)
3. recon-all -s <subject> -autorecon2-pial

Basically, I am trying to see if I can avoid running -autorecon3 in the
first run; make
all the edits and then re-run recon-all with appropriate flags.

Thanks
Mehul
