I am working with a 300 page outline going 7 levels deep. I need to indent the lines beginning with [---] over to an appropriate level. The appropriate level is determined by the row above the addendum lines. Here are a before and after view of what I need to do.

.....B. Second subline........................................
.....C. Third subline........................................
...................................[---] First addendum line.....
