Barry,
Apart from reference to "Line" that looks fine to me. But I'm no source
purist. I could both find this online from your information and know
where the original was.
I've never seen a Parish Register with numbered lines.
On the other hand records are numbered post 1813 for baptisms and
burials and marriages at least from 1837. So you probably mean Page 50,
No 398 which would be about right for earlier registers anyway where
there were 8 baptisms a page.

I haven't tried it yet but I'm hoping a similar approach would work
for marriage and banns held in church records.
Any comments invited.

I can guess at why Millennium doesn’t “publish” on-disk templates for
SourceWriter: I think their rules-based code is within some
password-protected mdb files (disguised as .dbm). or at least that is
the way that I would code it.
Also, whether the above is right or wrong – if the formatting of
sources is so divergent between times in history and jurisdictions (as
for example, the dogs’-breakfast of even the online BDM databases in
the 7 or so States of Australia, over the less than 200 years of
record-keeping) it would be a big task for them to research and
implement the rules for sources for additional to those in the USA.
(just my conjectures)
Thanks for the tip. I don’t want to accumulate sources stored in ways
that make retrieval or maintenance a big chore, or inflexible.

Unless Basic sources were rudimentary or really badly formatted and
the Basic Master Source can't be edited into respectable format, then
don't even consider changing Basic Sources to SourceWriter sources.
It's a slow tedious job which is only worth doing if the source isn't
sufficiently informative and needs to be redone anyway - like some of
my early sources from the 1990s.
Making your own guides to how you enter Basic Sources is a great idea.

Carolyn, that sounds interesting. My ancestors and connections to the
side are AU, NZ, England Wales Scotland Ireland. There are very
peripheral USA, Canada, South Africa.
Currently, my use of sources is primitive. I’m not using SourceWriter
(though I thought I should be).
It raises the question to me how difficult it will be to convert my
‘basic’ source entries to SourceWriter. I will check out Help.

But you can create your own source templates using the basic system.
I have a set that works well for New Zealand, Australian, UK records.
Developed as the source writer system is way to US centric (long
winded) for my records.
