They way Philippe wrote is the intended way of editing shadow files.
I usually have the official library compressed and the shadow library non compressed during shadow editing. This way you will be sure no official files are save to disk (this will otherwise happen when LDCad e.g. corrected the case of a type 1 line reference).
You info looks ok, I would add a bit more detail though, like so:
And maybe also some hole info for the stud hole. But you version should be enough for most situations.

Code:
0 !LDCAD SNAP_CYL [gender=F] [caps=one] [secs=R 6 5 R 3.5 15] [slide=true] [pos=0 40 0]
0 !LDCAD SNAP_CYL [gender=M] [caps=two] [secs=R 4 13.5] [slide=true] [pos=0 16 0]And maybe also some hole info for the stud hole. But you version should be enough for most situations.
