17. We used standard open boundary conditions in all the regions but the dimerized and the scalar chirality LRO phase. In these cases we attached one more (Formula presented) spin at each end of the ladder in the same way as Ref. 16.

19. We define the dimer structure factor in this context as the staggered sum of all leg dimer dimer correlations where the two bonds do not overlap.
