space after \tnote?

[Richard Sperling]

One column in my table lists a variable name and the symbol for the
variable follows in parentheses, e.g., Production ($q$). I would like
to insert a footnote using

Production\tnote{a} ($q$)

rather than

Production ($q$)\tnote{a}.

However, the first way inserts no space between the note and the
symbol. I can make it work using \hspace. Is this behavior by design?
Thanks.

\tnote, how and why.

\tnote comes from threeparttable.sty, and is the equivalent
of \rlap{$^{a}$}. This is deliberate to facilitate right-alignment:
the note tag hangs out past the column. It does not have the
"smarts" to work in a wide variety of positions. Probably it is
best to just add an extra space with

Production\tnote{a}~~($q$)

I think I may be able to make it "smarter".

I did try \ , but it didn't work. Sorry about the ommission. The
\tnote command is part of threeparttable written by Donald Arseneau.
In a follow-up to this thread, he suggested using

\tnote{a}~~($q$)

and that works.
