Thank you for confirming my understanding of the rule.

So I am still confused by the wording of 10.6.2.  I did look at the top of page 118 and the way I read it is referencing the beginning of the word and type-forms and punctuation that may precede.  As I wrote in my example disappointed is the word I am using.  At the bottom of page 117 it talks about what can follow the lower sign and I do not see type-forms terminators listed as something allowed.  I do find in 2.6.3 at the top of page 117 that it is OK for letter or letters- sequence to be followed by type-form terminators.  Is this the rule I should reference for this lower sign situation?  FYI Braille 2000 reads the contraction as a period.

Kyle, Thank you for your response. I was confused if I should be using the page break as Formats instructs and in 7,5 format for the note as Nemeth instructs. But beyond that, next question, I have read other transcriber comments that indicate that the only time Nemeth would be used in this type of science book (high school life science, biology) is when numbers are shown in print. I am wanting to use all Nemeth indicators, bold, numbers, format for questions, etc. Or is this considered partially technical which would only require numbers be in Nemeth and the rest of the text be transcribed Braille Formats? Thank You Janice

Thank you for checking on the format for notes in an EBAE-Nemeth transcription. You're right that you should use the Nemeth asterisk (@#). This and more information is contained in Nemeth Code Rule VII. Please make particular note of section 48:

[quote=]a. When a reference sign which calls attention to or introduces a footnote is attached to a word or mathematical expression, the reference symbol must follow that word or expression with a space between. If such a reference sign is unattached its position relative to its surrounding material must be preserved, and a space must be left on either side of the reference symbol. However, if there is punctuation which applies to such a reference, no space should be left between the reference symbol and the punctuation mark which applies to it.
b. ... All reference symbols, whether or not they call attention to or introduce a footnote, must be spaced away from the words to which they apply.
c. The placement and indention of footnotes are subject to the rules for footnotes in the "Code of Braille Textbook Formats and Techniques." [--> which now means, placement and indention of footnotes should follow the guidelines of Braille Formats: Principles of Print-to-Braille Transcription, 2011.][/quote]

My pleasure. The questions are the only reason I know anything at all! So happy to hear that the answers help.

Thank You Joanna,
My remaining question would be about placing a title page in front of each book. Would I be correct in my understanding that the compilation copyright by the publisher is different from the individual book copyright information that is listed? If that is true would I place both on a title page along with (on a separate page) it's dedication in front of that individual book within the compilation?
Thank you again with your help on this.
Janice

Thank you Saralyn,
I had seen that reference but because it did not mention dedications I balked. Another reason was that this compilation is under one ISBN. In your opinion will that make a difference?

Hi Saralyn,
Thank you for the response. I was processing this book for a parent to give to their child for Christmas so book is gone. I will remember to post with a copy of the page in the future. Thanks for your time on this.
