Hi, Kathleen.
How might I make this music heading more clear/accurate to the reader? (I've attached the print pic AND my braille attempt.)
Might I need to include some type of parentheses? (Ignoring the parentheses looks confusing in the braille?)
Might I need to clarify which hand is in which meter? (It isn't mixed meter as shown in MBC2015 or DeGarmo, so I don't think I braille them together without a space.)
After I get the music heading squared away, I'll add the footnote, text (perhaps in another footnote?) transcriber-added rest, etc.
🙂

Hi Christina!
What a great question!
I am going to base my answer on the way MBC2015 treats irregular key signatures.
I would do the tempo indication exactly as it appears - environs. quarter equals music parenthesis dotted quarter music parenthesis equals 51
The time signatures can be indicated as right and left hand in the music heading - enclose the right hand sign in music parentheses directly before the sharp 12/8. Leave a space, enclose the left hand sign in parentheses directly before the sharp 4/4.
I don't think you'll need to put them in the music line.
(I can't figure out how to use simbraille in this box, so I've attached a pdf. Let me know if it doesn't make its way clearly.)
I also don't think a footnote will be necessary for the meters. It should be clear enough this way. Or are you just referring to the long word expressions?
Be well!
Oh good grief. The sim braille took effect AFTER I hit submit! It didn't appear that way while I was typing!
Argh. Here's print: I would do the tempo indication exactly as it appears - environs. quarter equals music parenthesis dotted quarter music parenthesis equals 51
