[Clascomment] OPT-IN: Precise Determination of the Deuteron Spin Structure at Low to Moderate Q2 with CLASand Extraction of the Neutron Contribution

[Reinhard Schumacher]

Hi All,

This paper is very well constructed, and takes the reader through a
long story in a clean, structured way.  The paper is didactic enough
that non-experts can follow what you are doing, which I certainly
appreciated. While not read it word-for-word,  I do have a few
comments  on things noticed along the way:

Line 101:  I would use "insofar";  that is the standard expression.

Fig.7+:  Nice use of offset systematic error bands.  This is the first
time I've seen this used, and I find it effective. 

Figs. 10, 13:  The open squares showing SLAC data look magenta, not
purple.  Changing that would make the word usage consistent with Fig. 14+. 

Fig. 15:  A very impressive summary figure.  The only slightly odd
feel about it is the placement of the left and right panels.  I would
have swapped them.

Fig 19: the dashed line at zero is nearly invisible, unlike the line
in Fig.18.  Consider making it heavier.

Line 1130: need to fill in reference.

Line 1137: fix ".."

This paper deserves quick approval from the referees!
