Can you clarify me your position regarding the suggestion as to using the Quenta version to end Fog?

I meant that we follow the chapter break from Q30 - so the Earendil chapter would begin with our FG-C-28: "Yet by Sirion there grew up an elven folk, the gleanings of Gondolin and Doriath . . ."

My reasoning is that this is where Tolkien placed the chapter break in the what turned out to be the last version that has that particular chapter break.

I do see the point about being able to include the fragment of the Lay, however. Yet I'm hesitant to start Earendil earlier than Tolkien intended just so that we can justify the inclusion of the poem.
