Ron,
You've hit on one of my major complaints with Legacy reporting. I
bring it up every year or so...there might be some more stuff in the
archives.

If you look at the Individual, Family Group, and Chronology reports
you will find numerous inconsistencies and issues. As you point out,
Chronology treats the big 4 (BBDM) pretty well, but the others
disconnect the notes and stuff them at the end. You could try to
create your own BBD events in the IR and FGS but they would double up
in the Chronology report. OK if you use only one or the other but not
a good solution.

If you dig in, you will find a lot of inconsistencies in these 3
reports.  Eg., the FGS automatically adds a blank line at the end of
each event note but the IR does not. If you add line feeds to make one
report look good, one or both of the others get worse.  Etc.

I had a list of 12 or 15 such related issues but support would only
agree to look a them if I put each one on a separate submission.  I
finally sent them to Geoff, his request, but he hasn't acknowledged
receipt.

So yes, I agree with you. These reports could be so much more useful
with a little work.  There may be historic reasons for the particular
FGS format, and compatibility concerns, but it would be easy to
generate additional versions of these reports that would be self
consistent.
