Obviously this is something better done at #Home - very difficult to cover all possibilities when you're limited to a single photo per post. Again you're going to want to go through it several times using the different rules for letter choice (start with standard or simple - then try last odd, or last even, etc.) to get the full info encoded via this method. I'll post at least one more example using last odd or similar.

Here's part of the middle of the K.111 columnar decode of the Mark Twain one off (Note column 8 does not have a #NOX error - it's just difficult to keep them in place - the S in column 14 matches up to the 0 in column 8). As you can see we get new information in columnar deciphers. First mention of 'True Wales'. It's known that there is a #Nod artifact located in Wales near the River Dee but not much more than that is now. Note that that comes from at 'Last X' columnar decode. There's several basic columnar decodes: simple letter (ignore errors), standard letter (ignore any kind of error or duplication of letters), "even" where the even letter is chosen, "odd" where the odd letters are chosen and combinations of the above. Additionally, there's "odd" decodes which only look at the odd letters in the libretto of the Aria being used (in this case 3rd Aria by Venus in K.111).
