If you keyed the headings, I believe it would fit across one page (I attached the grouping indicators to the numbers under m sub s and the numbers under total in subshell). If you don't want to do that, or it doesn't work for some reason, you can certainly draw the grouping indicators (making it a tactile). I admit to not being the expert for UEB technical materials so I might be missing something. You could also key the headings and draw the grouping indicators which would allow it fit on one page as well.

Question 1: Formats does not directly address this. I can tell you that I do not use continuation number on transposed material from volume to volume. So if volume 1 is print pages 1-c35 and 840-a840 volume 2 might be d35-b61 and 840-a840. As you can see, I WOULD use continuation numbers on the "regular" text. Just not on the transposed material. This is an agency decision however and should be handled consistently throughout the whole transcription (whichever way you do it).
Formats does address the idea of continuation letters in the Table of Contents. According to 2.10.7a, continuation letters are NOT used in the Contents.
Question 2: These types of materials would only be placed in volume 1. The exceptions to what would be included in volumes other than volume 1 are things like pronunciation keys and cast of characters in a play that is more than one volume.

I assume the number 1 applies to the table in the box (and that there is also a number 2 ... and maybe more). If that is the case, the blank line would follow the directions. Is the 1 outside the box in print? If it's on the top line of the box, I would put it inside the box with the table...but if not, then follow print.

After pooling several other people we are all agreed. There is no one right way to do this 🙂
Suggestions: Treat it as an indented list and use three levels (based on what you sent me); use the UEB long dash (although this would not strictly follow UEB as the long dash symbol implies there is an actual symbol present in print and in this case this is not true); or do a TN that says that the irregular indentations are not represented in braille (then do 1-5, 3-5 for margins). The fact that these are incomplete poetic lines does not matter...you should follow what print does and let the braille reader interpret it as they will (which is what the print reader's do).

Box lines are no longer required. Nor are the copyright, forward slash, ampersand, crosshatch or bullet.
The dagger and asterisk are most often used as reference notes so they would be required (that's where they are grouped in my list 🙂 ).
The note separation line does not need to be listed...nor do the line mode indicators for it.
Yes, if the closing single quotation is listed, I would list the opening one as well.

Well, these types of questions should probably start going to the Math forum...but I can answer this 🙂
Technically, in the case you have sent me, you could use the one-word switch indicator on fifty-nine. The problem then becomes what happens when you get to one hundred fifty-nine. You could NOT use the one-word switch there. So for consistency you should do as you have done in your attachment and go out of Nemeth for the page change and back in after.

You are right. Exercise questions should not be split across a braille page if they will fit on one page. In your example, you should keep the numbered item and the lettered items together (if possible, which in this case it would be).
Cindi
Yes, you are correct. According to the note in 3.15.1 which says
Note: The foot may be shown in print by an apostrophe and the inch by a nondirectional double quote. This can be followed in braille.
Most of the time the inch sign and the prime sign are the same.

8.3.4 Lists Starting at the Top of Braille Pages
a. A list can start on line 1 when a running head is not used, if there are two or more blank lines at the bottom of the previous page. Start the list on line 2 when braille is on the last, or next-to-last line of the previous page.
b. A list starts on line 3 when a running head is used.
The guidelines specify in this section that a list starts on line 3 when a running head is used.

According to the Rules of UEB, you would not need a grade 1 indicator in avii as none of these letters is standing alone. Context would tell the reader what the meaning is.
As for print page numbers, the same is true...no grade 1 indicator is required on vii (but it would be on v).
