Instead of using [L], use [L2], [L3] to output just the detail and city, or [L3], [L5] to output the city and state, for example. I also use them to rearrange the order of the fields. For example, when I know a family moved to a new state (maybe because I find them in a city directory) but I don't know just when, I use in a Moved tag: ...moved to [L5] <by [Y]>, when they were living at [L2], [L3] so I'm saying they moved to the state by the time I found them, and say they were at that address at that time even though they might have lived elsewhere in the new state before that. Or, in a Census Tag I use: ...in the [Y] census of <[L3]>, [L5], <enumerated [D]><at [L2]> where I'm attributing the county and state as modifiers of the census, and stating the detail where known separately.
