There is no problem to add somethig like group-endgroup pair inside centerline, if it will really help you (or I can use just begin-end pair if you wish). Then it could be rewritten this way: centreline calibrate tape 1 1 2 10 0 0 group calibrate tape 2 2 3 10 0 0 endgroup 3 4 10 0 0 endcentreline Or do you see some other trivial solution of this problem?

No, there is no such possibility. You have to repeat calibration every time it changes. I would rewrite your example this way:
encoding iso8859-1 survey test -title "test" centreline calibrate tape 1 1 2 10 0 0 calibrate tape 2 2 3 10 0 0 calibrate tape 1 3 4 10 0 0 endcentreline endsurvey
I'm just wondering, whether these situations are so common...
I'd say common enough on fairly large survey projects, especially those under exploration/expedition conditions where the surveying is done in a hurry and the chances of going back and correcting iffy readings are low.
I quite often make use of changing the SD for particular legs where it's known that the survey wasn't done to the general standard. In general the SD is defined in a separate file which I *include in the survex data. Having to undo that separation when using therion, and repeat the definition of the SD, is a shame, and makes converting data harder (as I first attempt I've usually just ignored changes in SD and put a comment in the .th file).
Yours,
