I believe Dimitris' plan was to use color-coding for that purpose, but 
there is no harm in making this more explicit with prose too.

Yes, this was an oversight.

On this occasion I also aligned the variable names in the SPARQL queries 
to be closer to the predicate names (which will help with the likely 
renaming to sh:scopeProperty or a similar single property).

All fixed:
