We need to make a distinction between a composite object and a composite text.

ATF files should only be treated as composites when they have an @composite line in the metadata of the object descriptions. E.g.: anzu.atf

Composites are abstract concepts Assyriologists use to refer to the data collected from several sources (fragments of objects) often coming from different places. In the @composite files, there are no references to objects such as @tablet or @object statue.

The grammar as it is now considers composites as ATF files with more than one &-line and this is not correct.

I need to discuss with James about this and see how is best to modify the grammar/data model.

Steve, Niek and Eleanor are happy for us to give low priority by now and focus on an initial draft version of the GUI.
