Neil thanks, that's useful.

However I feel that this might be better as an @known only because this 
requires a tweak/custom function.

It’s not 'out of the box'. Else we could just have the snippet (unless it's 
already there - I haven't yet checked).

We could add this snippet to the LSR and then add an @known, or (someone) make 
a code change to allow any digit to be generated (i.e. we use 0 - 9 but let 
users have multiple instances of 0 - 9 so you can get 'fingering' markups of 9 
99 99999 99999999 etc).
