I'm with Lorna. RM handling of my sentences, roles and witnesses is OK for basic BDM entries but for anything else is woeful. I cannot and would not even think of going to RM (or anything) until say, 95% of existing sentences are recreated correctly. And of course, have the ability to identify the ones needing surgery. RM doesn't meet either target.

Julie, I'm curious how you coped with RM only having a Principal role for P1. I've some 5,000 events over a number of tags in my TMG data where P1 has a role other than principal, with associated sentences that do assorted things, eg link to specific websites or simply make the narrative reports less bog standard/more interesting. Without the context of the role, a lot of these don't make much sense. To convert my main db to RM I'd be spending rather a lot of precious research time working on these 5,000+ creating adiditonal fact types to work around this issue, which clutters the fact/tag type list, unnecessarily in my opinion.
