If there is solid evidence of line transposition (which would be extremely 
unusual, to say the least), then any proposed cipher system would need to 
include an explanation for it.

If Philip Neal is looking in: do you have a list of specific places where 
you think line transposition is happening (based on the handwriting)? If 
so, have you looked for any content-based evidence to support it on those 
pages? ie where (say) words on alternate lines are more closely related 
than words on adjacent lines?

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