    It's not. I thought the subscript on the subscript would be too much,
    but I can easily do that.

    Will do.

    Just a line? Hmm. Since the cuts were not dependent on these
    magnitudes, it would be legit to leave them out. (Some of the
    supernovae in the tables which aren't in any of the fits except for the
    breifly mentioned "full set" fit do have cuts based on the values in the
    tables, e.g. stretch.)

    I'm ambivalent, and can see arguments either way.
