Yeah, you are right,  they work fine together, my error was trying to use "=
w errorbars points pt 4".  I hadn't realized that errorbars and points were=
 mutually exclusive.

For the record my columns are getting even more complex now that I realize =
that any number is replaceable by any expression in parens.

My:

11:( ( \=20
    (stringcolumn(13) eq "12bpp") && \=20
    (stringcolumn(12) eq "r") && \=20
    (stringcolumn(10) eq "ML") \=20
  ) ? $2 : NaN ):3

has now become:

($11 + 0.1):( ( \=20
    (stringcolumn(13) eq "12bpp") && \=20
    (stringcolumn(12) eq "r") && \=20
    (stringcolumn(10) eq "ML") \=20
  ) ? $2 : NaN ):($3/100)
