Yes, but I do not think this is the case for the macron over Lamed on f57v. Here I view Lamed as representing the number 30 rather than a letter, and I view the macron as as representing a) one half of a double bar and b) a distance of 30 pages. Thus, we observe that f57 lies in the middle between the 42-letter name (f42) and the 72-letter name (f72): 42 + 15 = 57 + 15 = 72. It is safe to conclude that the order of VMS pages was carefully prearranged.

I no longer think it's a 5. I now think it's a 30.
