Honestly, I've never thought of that, and I can't recall that it has ever happened. I suppose I could make the changes to my card as follows:

#8 XX F2(5) SMITH, B. XXXXXX CR16(_)
#2 F6 WALKER, R
#6 XX F1(5) JONES, J. XXXXXX CR12(_)

Sorry; couldn't do line-thru, so I used Xs. But it would actually be a line through the changes so I can see them. If 12 or 16 don't CR for them, or someone else does, no biggie; I just line through those new annotations.

And, Yes, I make my changes quite small.
