It is the one delivered (Metric Standards). You must get the existing track as a projected profile ( Project profile to element ) in the Design Profile View. Name it so that you can easily identify it in the list when asked during the annotation process. Level difference between existing and proposed is the lift. It is available. If you want the annotation of existing cant (level difference between left and right existing rails) you must project existing rails to design profile and select them as left and right edge during the annotation process.

You've got some sample annotation groups delivered with OpenRail that include this information as tabular (frames). Rail New design profile is showing cant schematic with all these value.

It is because actually we don't have a setting for just FIRST/LAST point of the cant alignment. So annotation has been setup with start and end for each segment. You can set it to be only start. Just the last one will miss. If you end the profile where there is no cant variation then it should not be an issue. Last information is the good one. You may copy it.
