The Formats Committee has continued discussing this topic and has now come to the conclusion that we would say to follow print and divide the syllabified word between pages as in print. This is the most consistent with the rules and UEB.
Thank you,
Connie
My original answer was to keep the syllabified words together and place the page change after. The idea behind rule 20.2.1c is to maintain that a syllabified word is on one line.
I asked the Formats Committee the question concerning dividing syllabified words between pages. The Committee had a good discussion with differing opinions. You can consider grade or if phonetics are involved. Is print or syllabification more important to the reader. Since we can not determine if the reader uses the syllabification, we chose the syllabification and that we would not divide the syllabified words between pages.
Thank you,
Connie
Mary,
I am sorry that I must of overlooked this question yesterday. No, it is not required to list box lines on the SSP. You can refer to Appendix G in the Textbook Formats for a list of requirements.

Lindy,
I created an example so I hope it helps. I hope it doesn't happen often because it is not good even for a sighted reader but I have seen it before myself.
Thank you,
Connie
Mary,
You are correct and they are not required to be listed. They are not technical codes.
Some agencies may require these codes be added, and agencies can make these items as part of their specs.
Keep up the good work,
Connie
Mary,
Under Appendix G of the Textbook Code you are not required to list the note separation line or line-mode on the SSP.
You could work for an agency that request this information and then you would follow their request.
Hope this answers your question,
Connie
Mary,
In the case of the syllabicated words I would also look to rule 20.2.1c which wants the syllabicated word on one line if it fits. So you would be correct to keep the word as a whole on the page (and line) it began.

Lucas,
Sometimes silly questions can be the ones that make us ponder the most. I would still put The End in TN symbols since this is the rule that informs the braille reader that it is the end of the transcription. I would also follow print and put The End to show that it is in print.
Thank you for the pondering,
Connie
Xia,
The paragraph about the author on the back cover with be placed under cover jacket material in the p pages (Rule 2.8). Follow the print placement location of the "About the Author" at the end of the book.
As for the social media symbols, if this is the only reference to these symbols I suggest naming the symbols inside TN symbols and add a TN before stating that social media symbols are identified prior to web addresses. Such as:
TNfacebookTN joshpeckofficial
TNtwitterTN @joshpeck
Continue the good work,
Connie
Rodney,
With the information that you have provided and not seeing the actual page it appears it is directions in 5-5, since the material is followed by questions.
Connie
Lindy,
Sorry about the confusion with "overlooked". You had mentioned the disclaimer following other material and reviews. I was referring to adding a heading would separate it from being other reviews.
Lindy,
I see these disclaimers "hidden" often on the copyright pages.
I would follow print placement. If the disclaimer is in with other information on the cover jacket material it would be helpful to add a heading to set it apart. When rule 2.7.1a states each item begins on a new braille page, that would be the front or back cover material starting on a new page, so if there was a lot of material on the jacket, it could be overlooked.
If it is not cover jacket material, then follow print placement and it would start on a new braille page. A heading would not be necessary since the new page would set it apart. Sometimes I see Disclaimer in bold.
Hope this helps,
Connie
Brittany,
I think a TN on the Transcriber's Note page is a good idea and omit the boxes. The reader will identify the text messages by the format and will be able to maintain a flow reading. Keep up the good work.
Connie
Brittany,
Follow Section 14 for dialogue. When the user name is not in print you will need to add a TN that they have been added.
The boxes moving from the right and left is a visual effect identifying the change in speaker but will be solved by following braille formats. Each dialogue in 1-3 with the speaker's name before.
I am not sure about the boxes. If you are doing each one, or each section. Be careful of excessive boxes. Sometimes the format change from 3-1 to 1-3 can be sufficient.
Hope this helps,
Connie
Barb,
If you do not need more than the 9 cells for the page reference numbers then single capitalizing Unforgettable Logan Foster will fit.
If it is still not enough, here are some suggestions:
unforgettable Logan Foster
Unforgettable Foster
Abbreviate Unforgettable and single capitalize Logan Foster
Remove all capitals, the rule states that you can adjust capitalization
I hope this gives you some options to choose from that will assist you.
Connie
