Finding Rules
Instead of trying to hunt through all the rules, you should ask Synthia to find the rules you want. For example, the phrase
rules about axis
shows rules that contain the word axis (excluding the nonterminal an axis—which you can look for directly).
Looking in that list, you see that the non-terminal an axislockcode (all one word) is one of the attributes of a tracker. You can find all the possible axis lock codes (for the SynthEyes Coordinate System panel) with rules producing an axislockcode. From that list, you might say make all trackers unconstrained.
Going back to rules about, the actual definition for it is rules about a qphrase, where qphrase is a possibly-quoted phrase. Try rules about "rules about" and rules producing a qphrase. As in that example, the quotes can be necessary. While rules about a qphrase shows rules containing the given (consecutive) words, rules for a qphrase shows rules where the entire right-hand side matches the qphrase's words.
For more ways to find rules, see rules producing some rules .
