Field Mapping when creating a composite address locator

When creating a single or even a multirole locator in ArcGIS Pro, I like to capture the output from the tool so I can easily format the various parameters into a python script. For example, the field mapping parameter for a multi role locator looks like this once I get it into python:

fieldMapping = "'PointAddress.HOUSE_NUMBER AddressPoints_Erase.ADDR_HN';"\ "'PointAddress.STREET_PREFIX_DIR AddressPoints_Erase.ADDR_PD';"\ "'PointAddress.STREET_NAME AddressPoints_Erase.ADDR_SN';"\ "'PointAddress.STREET_SUFFIX_TYPE AddressPoints_Erase.ADDR_ST';"\ "'PointAddress.STREET_SUFFIX_DIR AddressPoints_Erase.ADDR_SD';"\ "'PointAddress.SUB_ADDRESS_UNIT AddressPoints_Erase.UNIT_DESIG';"\ "'PointAddress.CITY AddressPoints_Erase.CITY';"\ "'PointAddress.POSTAL AddressPoints_Erase.ZIP_CODE';"\ "'StreetAddress.HOUSE_NUMBER_FROM_LEFT Centerlines_Erase.FROMADDR_L';"\ "'StreetAddress.HOUSE_NUMBER_TO_LEFT Centerlines_Erase.TOADDR_L';"\ "'StreetAddress.HOUSE_NUMBER_FROM_RIGHT Centerlines_Erase.FROMADDR_R';"\ "'StreetAddress.HOUSE_NUMBER_TO_RIGHT Centerlines_Erase.TOADDR_R';"\ "'StreetAddress.STREET_PREFIX_DIR Centerlines_Erase.PREDIR';"\ "'StreetAddress.STREET_NAME Centerlines_Erase.NAME';"\ "'StreetAddress.STREET_SUFFIX_TYPE Centerlines_Erase.POSTTYPE';"\ "'StreetAddress.STREET_SUFFIX_DIR Centerlines_Erase.POSTDIR';"\ "'StreetAddress.CITY_LEFT Centerlines_Erase.INCMUNI_L';"\ "'StreetAddress.CITY_RIGHT Centerlines_Erase.INCMUNI_R';"\ "'StreetAddress.POSTAL_LEFT Centerlines_Erase.ZIPCODE_L';"\ "'StreetAddress.POSTAL_RIGHT Centerlines_Erase.ZIPCODE_R'"

It's easy to split the parameters at the semicolon, and makes it much easier to read in the python script itself. However, when it comes to splitting out the parameters of a composite address locator, it's not as straight forward. Here is the output from the tool:

That's one long line. I can copy that single line into my python script but I can't read it since it goes on for about a mile:

fieldMap = r'Address "Address or Place" true true false 100 Text 0 0,First,#,N:\GIS\Geocoding\NewGeocoding\MsdMultiRoleLocator.loc,Address,0,0,N:\GIS\Geocoding\NewGeocoding\NonMSDMultiRoleLocator.loc,Address,0,0'

Does anyone know where to put the line breaks in as shown in the first python window?

It seems like I figured it out:\

addressLocators = r"N:\GIS\Geocoding\CityWorksLocators\Locators\MsdMultiRoleLocator.loc Msd;"\ r"N:\GIS\Geocoding\CityWorksLocators\Locators\NonMSDMultiRoleLocator.loc NonMSD;"\ r"N:\GIS\Geocoding\CityWorksLocators\Locators\SingleRoleParcelLocator.loc Parcel" #fieldMap = r'"Address or Place" true true false 100 Text 0 0,First,#,N:\GIS\Geocoding\CityWorksLocators\Locators\MsdMultiRoleLocator.loc,Address,0,0,N:\GIS\Geocoding\CityWorksLocators\Locators\NonMSDMultiRoleLocator.loc,Address,0,0,N:\GIS\Geocoding\CityWorksLocators\Locators\SingleRoleParcelLocator.loc,Address,0,0' fieldMap = 'Address "Address or Place" true true false 100 Text 0 0,First,#,;'\ r'N:\GIS\Geocoding\CityWorksLocators\Locators\MsdMultiRoleLocator.loc,Address,0,0,;'\ r'N:\GIS\Geocoding\CityWorksLocators\Locators\NonMSDMultiRoleLocator.loc,Address,0,0,;'\ r'N:\GIS\Geocoding\CityWorksLocators\Locators\SingleRoleParcelLocator.loc,Address,0,0' selectionCriteria = "MsdLocator #;"\ "NonMsdLocator #;"\ "Parcel #" outLocator = r'N:\GIS\Geocoding\CityWorksLocators\Locators\CityWorksComposite.loc'
