Dear Harut et al.,
Timothy provided me with the supplementary material write-up associated with your CLAS12 paper
on correlations in dihadron production that is intended for publication in the Phys. Rev. Lett.
I pass along my comments on grammar/style. If you have any questions, let me know.
Regards,
Daniel

Page 1:
- The title here does not match the title of the associated paper.
Page 2:
- Line 1. Use "... is given in Ref. [1] as,".
- Line after Eq.(2). Use "Additionally, the structure functions in the asymmetry definition can be ...".
- In the second paragraph (beginning with "We impose the following ..."), you are not consistent with
your usage of commas. I prefer the usage of "Oxford" commas, where you include a comma after the
penultimate item in a list, e.g. "$M_x > 0.90$~GeV, and ..." and "$x_{F2}$, or $\Delta Y$ ...". But
if you do not like this style, at least be consistent in your usage throughout the manuscript and the
supplementary material.
Page 3:
- Tables I, III, V, VII, IX, XI, XIII, XV, XVII, XIX, and XXI do not fit within your margins. I think
this could be easily fixed putting the column units in a second row.
- Also for Tables I, III, V, VII, IX, XI, XIII, XV, XVII, XIX, and XXI, the column labeled "Range" is
a bit confusing. You should give the variable name here, e.g. "$x$ Range" or "$z_1$ Range" (etc.).
- Here you center all captions (figures and tables). This is a different style than the corresponding
paper. Be consistent.
Page 6:
- Missing a period at the end of the caption for Table VIII.
Page 14:
- Paragraph 2:
- Line 1. Use "... clasdis [3], which is ...".
- Line 5. Use "LUND".
- Line 6. Use "... photon, and pion ...".
- Line 7. Use "... obtained from the data include PARL(3), defining ...". By the way, should this be
"PARJ" or "PARL"?
- Line 8. Are there units associated with the values for PARL(3) (0.44 to 0.64)?
- Line 9. Use "... and PARJ(12), defining the fraction ...".
- Line 10. Use "Our changes are consistent with the latest ...".
- Line 12. Use "... on the extracted asymmetries.".
- Paragraph 3:
- Line 1. Use "... are shown in Fig. 12 ...".
- Line 2. Use "... and Monte Carlo (red).".
Page 15:
- Fig. 12 caption. Line 2. Use "... (bottom left), and ...".
- Do not include preprint numbers for paper that are published.
