only numbers are allowed inside the graph parenthesis
plus, you need to specify “between 3 and 6”, if you make this with correct syntax you get “between 3 and 6 h followed by 7 h” which makes it a bit too many letters than what it should be allowed

3

h{^7,}

wont this signify i don’t want repetitions more than 7?

no, when use the quantifiers like that the syntax is {lowerLimit, higherLimit}
