Looking at a sample of your vertical file:
2 <file CEFR="A1" Title="International English for Speakers of Other Languages"> 3 <text Skills="Reading">
text> is nested in <file>, hence to get a subcorpus of A1 x Reading combination, use the following:
=Reading_A1
-CQL- <text Skills="Reading"/> within <file CEFR="A1"/>
It is now also possible to save a concordance as subcorpus (see left hand menu "Save as concordance" in a concordance view) This all works so far only on our beta installation at beta.sketchengine.co.uk, if you want to test, we will be happy for any feedback.
