How to create a specific exception to a segmentation rule?

Hello all, 

Could a kind soul tell me how to go about creating an exception to the semi-colon segmentation rule? 

I'd like the break to be after "and" in cases like the one below. Is that even possible? 

 Text editor showing a sentence split across two lines. Line 10 ends with 'next briefing;' and line 11 starts with 'and'.

I use Studio 2022 SR 1.

Thanks in advance for your help!

    I specifically separated the term "merge", and "update" or "export/import", because they carry very different meanings.  So better for my clarity even if it doesn't make any difference for you to be clear about what you are doing.

    All TMs are imported in an empty template.

    What does that mean exactly?  If it means you do this:

    1. export all the individual SDLTMs to TMX files
    2. import all the TMX files to one new SDLTM

    Then no problem because a TMX doesn't carry the segmentation rules.  So you are only importing translation units and presumably handling duplicates etc. as part of this process.

    That would be different to "merging" TMs which in the context of Trados supports the merging of SDLTM files, each of which have their own segmentation rules, and you need to address that in the merge to decide which rules apply going forward in the merged TM.

    Hope that gives you what you need?
