Thank you, this has been really helpful, I think I have managed to produce the desired effect.
However, I am having trouble with generating and passing subscripts from the main xyplot call to panel.superpose. My code resembles the examples (e.g. pp 71-73) in your 2008 book --- though I cannot refer to generic variable names "x", "y" or "groups" in panel (and panel. functions) within xyplot either, so the problem need not be with subscripts. If you could have a look, I paste my entire function below to be "almost functional," but the problem is relatively straightforward, around the end in the panel call.
