Ampersand between Nemeth

[Lucas Timpe]

Good Morning,

We were wondering about the ampersand in the example shown below.  We were debating whether we would have to close out of Nemeth and reopen after the UEB ampersand or if we would be able to do a single switch for the ampersand? We couldn't find any examples or guidelines related specifically to that. Let us know your thoughts when you have a chance please.

Oh what an interesting question.

The single-word switch indicator is used only for a word. The literary ampersand, as seen in your example, is a symbol--not a word--so you will need to switch out of Nemeth before transcribing the UEB symbol for the ampersand (4, 12346).
