You might want to do a part two.

Note also: Size VII is, in most references, and in CT and T5, replaced by D notation.
Plus, there are brown dwarfs in T5... L5 to Y5... but Marc hasn't encoded L/T/Y yet...

And mention the real world giants and larger, R__ is a K__ with extra metals, and N__ is an M__ with extra metals... S are even more than R and N...
WR, T, and the Peculiarity codes are also good... Some people do use modern star catalogues for their games...

I didn't bother with the outliers - they are too rare to mention.

This wasn't meant to be an exhaustive reference - just a guide on how to read the notation.

Thanks for the suggestions though.
