Dec 13	comment	Simple way to place an array of symbols above a letter? @egreg: Awesome! Thank you so much! One other question, if i replace the periods with other symbols, for example \triangle or \circ they are too large and overlap. Is there a way to shrink these symbols so they fit as well?

Dec 13	comment	Simple way to place an array of symbols above a letter? @azetina: I defined the following math operators: \DeclareMathOperator{\specialz}{\mathit{Z}} \DeclareMathOperator{\symz}{\overset{\gshtwo\gshone}{\specialz}} and then tried to use \sideset{}{_{lm}^n}\symz, but it puts the n way above the Z since it thinks the entire symbol is the operator. If instead I try \overset{\gshtwo\gshone}{\sideset{}{_{lm}^n}\specialz} then the superscript is in the right place but the dots are not centered over the Z, they're centered over the entire symbol including the sub and superscripts
Dec 13	comment	Simple way to place an array of symbols above a letter? @egreg: This is great, but I'm having trouble getting the subscripts and superscripts on the T. If I do it directly then either the dots are not centered appropriately (i.e. it is centered wrt the entire symbol rather than just the T) or the superscript is above the dots. I tried \sideset too, but it gives me errors for some reason.

Dec 13	comment	Simple way to place an array of symbols above a letter? I would then use this macro to create the above symbol by: \GSH{T}{l}{m}{n}{.}{.}
Dec 13	comment	Simple way to place an array of symbols above a letter? @barbarabeeton: For my purposes I will only need two columns, but the number of symbols in each column needs to be arbitrary, and the symbols themselves should also be arbitrary. I envision defining a macro at the beginning of my document that is something like: \newcommand{\GSH}[6]{ \overset{\begin{matrix} #5 & \ \\ #5 & #6 \end{matrix}}{#1_{#2}^{#3 #4}} } except I would want to have the matrix size customizable at the time of use rather than having it hardcoded in as 2 on the left and one on the right.

Nov 20	comment	Why does this bibtex entry only work with certain '\bibliographystyle's? I think I found the problem, but don't know the solution. When I comment out `\usepackage[nodots]{numcompress}`, it compiles fine. Why would there be a conflict between the numcompress package and `model1a-num-names.bst`? (Also, how is it that @egreg didn't seem to run into the same issue?)
Nov 20	comment	Why does this bibtex entry only work with certain '\bibliographystyle's? @Mico: I have tried deleting everything except `Main.tex`, and `MyReferences.bib`, and the problem remains. Another strange thing that I noted above is that each time I compile (regardless of the bibliography style) an empty file called `tmpbib.tex` is created (this only happens to me when using the elsarticle document class). Any other suggestions?

Nov 19	comment	Installing new .bst files @UlrikeFischer: I just realized that my having manually placed the .bst files was redundant, they were already included in a different directory (note the change a the beginning of my post).
Nov 19	comment	Installing new .bst files @Kurt: Thanks, I've updated the post to include a minimal working example, my .bib file, and a link to the .bst file I'm trying to use.
