Description
I'm typesetting Genesis with lots of pictures. It's much faster to start with ch 1-11 than to have all 50 ch reformat after adjusting each page. I made a mess the first time and had to start over, so I regenerated the Adj List. Got to the end of chapter 11, told PTXPrint to process GEN 1-24.
I discovered that my new, finalized Adj List only included paragraphs in ch 1-11, because that was the chapter range I was working with when I started over. The only way I can see to keep my 1-11 adjustments is to copy them (the whole list at this point) to a safe place, regenerate the default Adj list, then paste my 1-11 adjustments back in. Could there be a way to ask it to regenerate a chapter at a time, perhaps?

Research direction
Start by tracing the Adj List generation entry point and how the requested chapter range is applied. Reproduce the workflow with chapters 1-11 followed by 1-24, then determine how generation can preserve existing adjustments while adding the remaining chapters; done means earlier adjustments remain intact.
