capable and helpful MT.  I think you need to be honest with her and explain that she is asking more of you than you signed on for and you would like to renegotiate your responsibilities/pay.  Personally, if I had to edit someone else's work, I would want payment for a full line count, if not more, for the entire amount I edited.  I realize that probably won't happen, but I wouldn't do it otherwise as I could be making a full line count transcribing in the time I was spending editing.  The original transcriber would be taking a cut in pay and yours would increase.  I have done that in the past and  lost money on the account, but it was only temporary until the new MT got the hang of things.  I would bet she definitely wants to keep you and is not going to quit sending you work.  I think it is her responsibility to put in the extra time and effort editing unless she wants to compensate someone else to do it.  From what I have read on the boards, editing does not pay as well as transcribing so.....  I have been in her situation and spent many a late night to wee hours of the morning editing my IC's work.  I would NEVER have pushed a good MT to the point of quitting by overworking her.  You are likely the best she has, apparently better than her, and she is going to want to keep you.
