Without seeing your print my answer would be that if the last part of an entry word is not capitalized and there is no punctuation, then two spaces should be left between entry words and definitions. Remember that if two spaces are required for any entry, they are required for all entries.

This is really more of a UEB literary question, but I'll answer it 🙂
Though there is no specific rule for this, a passage indicator stays in effect until it is terminated...so extra spaces would make no differ1ent. Use a passage indicator.

There are no specific rules about this. My suggestion would be to treat the Passage and accompanying sentence as paragraphs and the numbered/lettered questions as exercise material (1-5, 3-5).
According to Formats, the notes do go at the end of the page (as you noted). You may want to check with the test producer or the person asking for the test to be brailled as to where they might want the footnotes.

Any chance I could get a picture of this page? It is easier to answer when I can see the print...
Thanks!

If ALL of the end matter begins with the word Appendix, then yes, it could be considered an identifier...but if any of them don't, just put the word Appendix before each entry.
I'm not new at this and sometimes the rules elude me...so you are in good company! 🙂
Cindi
I'm not sure exactly what you mean...but the rule is for when the identifier applies to all entries after the identifier (so you COULD have some prelim matter that doesn't have the identifier, then the identifier (chapter, etc) would apply to everything after that - until the end matter (which should be separated by a blank line. If this does not answer your questions, maybe send me a picture of your Contents?

I think it would be very hard to accurately describe these pictures. A general tn stating that a person is doing sign language should suffice (as well as stating what the phrases are).

If there really is no print page number, then you don't include one in braille. BE SURE the page number is not an implied page number though (which means there IS a page number even if it's not printed on the page)...if the next page with a number on it is page xx or page 5, then it is likely that YOUR page has an implied page number.
Cindi
While BF does not directly address this, the intent is that you would carry the required blank line to the next page - so your heading would begin on line 2.
Cindi
The number under the printing history is not included in braille editions. I can't for sure state what it is, but it is not part of the printing history.

I am not sure what you are asking exactly. Is this displayed? Are there line numbers? I can't see why the first line would need a runover - even if you begin it in cell 5. If it's displayed to paragraph material, it would begin in cell 3...with a blank line before. If using poetry, it would then be 3-5...if I'm missing the reason it should start in cell 5, and you are sure that is where it should start, then the margins would be 5-7. If it's displayed to exercise material (maybe it's an excerpt?) that would explain the cell 5 🙂 and then yes, you would use 5-7 margins (but I still don't know why the first line would need a runover). Remember that displayed needs a blank line before and after.
