scoping of a clause delimiter

['Monika Bader' via chibolts]

Hi,
we are trying to decide on the best way to code for clauses. The manual 
suggests using a clause delimiter, and we quite like this option 
(especially the possibility of creating user defined codes). However, we 
are somewhat worried about the scoping of the symbol. We understand that 
for some analyses, such as MLU/MLT based on clauses, this is not a crucial 
issue, but we do believe that for some other analyses one would need the 
right scoping (if we are not mistaken). For instance, calculating words per 
error free clauses (or any other clause code one uses). In examples such as 

The book [that you buyed yesterday] [^c err] has disappeared [^c] 

[^c err] would scope over "the book" as well, which we wouldn't necessarily 
want to include. In some languages these kinds of nested/center-embedded 
clauses are more common than in other. The manual says that "it is not 
necessary to mark the scope", but is it possible? or is there any other way 
to deal with cases such as these?

We appreciate any suggestions!

Best,
Monika
