Yes, that is correct.

The non-underlined altitudes are "recommended altitudes."

The shaded blocks and corresponding underlined altitudes are the actual minimum segment altitudes.

So for the RNAV (GNSS) Z RWY 13 at YQR, the recommended altitude from URMET to just before TIGOR is 3600 (or a 3 degree descent which would take you from 5130 to 3540) but the absolute minimum altitude until TIGOR (i.e. the "traditional" way) is 3000.

At TIGOR, you either continue on your constant descent to MDA or you do the chop and drop thing to get to your MDA and then level off until the MAWP.

Hope that helps.

**West Coast, I'll send you a PM with a link. I've uploaded a couple of screen shots to my FlickR site.
