Hi, Dan,
All I can say is that the De Garmo editors thought that an additional single slur is not required at the end of the first line when a double slur is in effect, unless there are not four or more notes of the syllable in the second line. Bettye Krolick wrote the wording of the code, and that's what she said it meant. Let's make sure we clarify that one way or the other in the upcoming revision of MBC.
I would do the number line tactilely. It might be misleading to present them as two separate number lines.
For 7 and 8, I think the only reason they are out of alignment is to provide room for the large x that follows each. I would treat them as itemized.
Can you please post an example as an attachment? I'm afraid that I don't understand your description.

Attached are the braille symbols used for creating a number line. The Guidelines for Mathematical Diagrams has an addendum that deals specifically with number lines.

Perhaps I'm not understanding what you're saying, but Spanish accented letters are necessary and required here. There is an overlap with certain Spanish accented letters and certain Nemeth symbols that THAT is where context guides the reader. The Spanish accented letters can be listed in a brief TN at the site of occurence. This is the only way that the braille reader can access what the printer reader sees, the precise accented letters used in Spanish.

Thank you for your reply, Joanna. As usual, seeing the question, along with your initial response, solidified my initial inkling.
Since this is only one page, A reference page, I believe that context will guide the user enough such that Spanish-accented letters (along with the required tn/ss) will not be necessary.
Thanks again.
The labels on a horizontal bar graph are usually words. These should be left aligned at the margin and you would use guide dots as needed with short labels.
The recommendation of the BANA Formats committee is that the alphabetic page number be on the first line of the first braille page that includes the full title, on the same line as the numeric page number. The full title will begin on line 2. There is no blank line between the alphabetic page number and the centered title.
Hi!
Joanna here. I did see this in the math forum. Happy to help if I can. I do need some additional information and I really would like to see this print page. Can you scan it and attach it?
Is this math test otherwise in English? If so, do you know the purpose of this information in Spanish? Is this list of formulas also provided in English? It is quite common now to have translated glosssaries and other resource material usually found at the back of general subject textbooks (science, math, history, etc.) in what are otherwise English textbooks. I wonder if this list of formula is somethng similar--a resource in English material that is translated into Spanish.
This information in additional to seeing the actual page will enable me to give specific suggestions.

I knew about the tn and ss requirements.
Seems a bit extreme for one-page, I know, but I'd like to know if the Spanish accented letters can be employed in a Nemeth transcription.
Thanks for forwarding to the foreign-language folks.
If you do this page as a Spanish page, it will require a tn to that effect, plus a special symbols list of the accented letters. It would help to know if the page is intended for a Spanish reader in print. I will send this question on to the foreign language forum if that's okay with you.
