From Birgit and Christie Hunter:
We would like to suggest a different way to annotate
This is also the nomenclature that Mascot is using (Takashi):
The standard nomenclature of z ion in ExD is following,
z+1 = z•
I suggest to use c’ and z•.
z•• is really z•+H and is called z’…
Hopefully skyline are able to use the “•” and the apostrophe in this way…
The definition of z in many software is for CID.

ExD case, I prefer c’ instead of c.
It sounds like we are going to need to add a menu with the various ion types to the Transition Settings - Filter tab, like we have for the chemical FormulaBox control. Not many users can type in a z• from the keyboard. Otherwise, this seems doable. I am not sure I understand why we would switch to c' from c. If there is no ambiguity, then I think we will continue forward with what we have for c-ions.
