It appears that a lot of the material is visual. However, you could certainly transcribe the text... I'm just not sure how helpful it might be to a reader. You could probably include transcriber's notes to explain what the text applies to. There aren't rules about this type of material so you would have to do the best you can and be as consistent as possible.

Without seeing the print, I would say that yes, 1-5, 3-5 sounds like a good option. You do not need to keep the blank lines.

Your description of the symbol is perfect! Simple, yet concise. Be sure to use the crossed-out symbol indicator for single letters that are crossed out (and that symbol should also be on the SS page).

After checking on this, the consensus is that these are equations ... They just use words rather than numbers. As such, when transcribing a book using Nemeth and UEB, they should be done in Nemeth.

- Storybooks are short stories within a text that have panels. They are intended to be cut out and put together into a small story for young readers...they usually cover 2-6 print pages and are on the front and back side of the page...the panels are numbered to show in which order they are read. If you ever have one in a book, you will know immediately what it is. Anything else is "narrative" text.
- Use braille pages for things that have no print pages - in our example, it would be listed as "braille page p_".

The spacing as in 11-8 is used when the numbers are aligned for calculation. This spacing (between the numeric indicator and the following number) is not required when the numbers are aligned by place value.

As I'm reading this, I want to be sure I understand...In this volume, you ONLY have ONE page of R1 - not the entire three pages (I'll assume it is some type of appendix or end matter and you only need the one page in THIS volume). If I am reading this correctly, then in this volume, you only have R1 - one page of the reference material. The title page should reflect that.
If I've misread your question and you DO have all three pages of R1 in a volume, the title page would read R1-bR1.

I like your second option as well - using one of the t-d typeform indicators so you can use the symbol, word, passage concepts with a shape indicator preceding so you can distinguish between them. It helps keep things consistent for the reader when you need more typeforms that you have symbols for!
On another note, I'd love some pages from both of these books as they would be great examples for workshops! If you get a minute, would you scan some pages and send them to me? claurent@nationalbraille.org. thanks!
