You need to set the label on some token within the region, typically the first one:

	<orw> n:[] []* </orw> :: n.div2_n="1";

Or you could use the implicitly defined match or matchend anchors as long as the region of interest is at the start or end of the query:

	<orw>[]+</orw> :: match.div2_n="1";

Another ? faster ? option is to do the check inline, but I generally prefer the global constraint for readability:

	<orw> [ _.div2_n="1" ] []*</orw> :: 

Best,
Stephanie
