Hi Don:
As you know, I had encountered somewhat similar problems with
scor2prt before (comment symbols % further down in a line of code).
In the light of that experience, I strongly encourage your option to
leave this alone, warning of the ambiguity (?) in the documentation
only.
I will include such a comment in the upcoming update of my tutorial.

PS (to all whose Email adresses are mentioned in the tutorial):
Following a suggestion by Jean-Pierre Coulon, in the updates
tutorial I will encrypt all these Email adresses in such a way
that they appear normally in on-screen/printed PDF output, but
automatic crawlers will not find them. This will help a bit in
keeping these adresses from becoming prey to spam generators.
ccn.
