f114r I've described, and f36r clearly has two separate paragraphs, with 
those single-leg gallows only on the top line of each paragraph - so Rene 
is correct for those cases.

However, you are right that f48r does indeed have a single one (near the 
end of the 3rd line). f30r also has one in mid-para (para 1, line 4): f30v 
has two in mid-para (line 8): f33r has two (lines 4 and 5), and so on - so 
you are correct here.

While it seems to me that the majority of these single-leg gallows do occur 
in the first line of paragraphs, it's clear that they do also occur 
elsewhere - would anyone care to calculate the relative frequency of these 
two scenarios, so that we can talk about this based on hard data?

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
