Combnation of columns and lines

[MASAHIKO MINAMI]

I wanted to attach line numbering to the columned transcript, and tried
the follwing:

columns +nSIM skit1.cha | lines +y

As can be seen below, what I obtained is a columned transcript with line
numbering, but the line numbering starts from the very beginning.  I
wanted the line numbering to start from the speaker's (main) tier.


Also, there are cases that one utterance has plural line numbers.
For example, see lines 16 and 17, which are actually one utterance.

I would like to know how to solve these two issues.

Thank you.
