I am working with a colleague using COGO reader on a legal description and are running into an issue where the reader isn't reading one of the descriptions for a curve properly (see text boxed in white in screenshot). We tried editing the text to try to guide the reader to adjust how it was reading but were unsuccessful in getting it to read properly. Would love any advice on this and wanted to share as feedback on COGO reader.

Thank you for sending the legal description. As you know, legal descriptions can be written in several ways. In this deed, the first curve (non-tangent curve) is defined using the bearing of the tangent to the curve, whereas it’s more commonly given as a chord or radial bearing. We can accommodate this format and update our logic. If you encounter other variations we should support, please let us know so we can better serve you and your cases.
