Indented keys: In an indented key, the paired-couplet choices
are identified in the same way and given the same
number.
Bracketed keys: The bracketed key follows the same basic principles
of contrasting choices and choices given the
same number, letter, or symbol as an indented key.
The choices, however, are always placed on adjacent
lines, thus requiring less room on a page, and the
couplets are kept together.
