Hello, again,
I think I found part of my answer to my question after doing a bit more researching--I will just use standard Nemeth code for the hotkeys. But here is a more specific question regarding the same attachment. On the right-hand column, if you down to the bottom third, there are key sequences starting with CTRL, and then + another key. Since CTRL could be thought of as an abbreviation, should I leave a space before the the + sign? Thank you so much, and I apologize my first post was so general.
SusanRule II defines and lists numeric signs and symbols. An operation sign is not a numeric symbol. Your third transcription is correct -- each italicized numeral requires an italic indicator and a numeric indicator. The numeral 2 does not need a numeric indicator since it is unspaced from the preceding operation sign.
It looks good to me, the only other way I see to tighten it up is to put your name on the same line as Transcribed by. It is amazing how much extra room the website address and printing history take.
Thanks for the samples.
Hi Lynnette,
After I took the "total volumes" line out of the title page, this helped to free up. I was able to have two blank lines total. It still looks a little crowded, and am not sure if I should try to rearrange the blank lines. I will attach the braille copy, as well as the info for the title page. Thanks for any comments or suggestions.
SusanPlease open the attached file to see a way to do this with braille dots. (ABT if you have Braille2000, BRF if you do not)
Do not braille the original problem and the place-value problem side-by-side.
A transcriber's note can explain the 456 line, and the omission of the arrow.Susan, I do not think the shading in the print table is significant--I believe it is only for visual tracking purposes. Even-numbered rows are also in italics. I would ignore that as well--it is another visual tracking print device.
NIs are used in the column and row heading numerals but not in the table entries, and with one blank cell between columns, you can fit all 20 columns across two facing braille pages. Your TN can now simply be the first line only. "The table is read across a series of facing pages."

If your page break is on line 24 you can do the page change indicator and then a line of text. If the page break is on line 25 or line 1 I would put it at the top of the page.
Simple answer: Yes.
Explanation: To clarify the differences between Chemistry Code and Nemeth Code regarding scientific abbreviations: space after the 6 or the 10 (follow print spacing); use an English letter indicator for each single letter abbreviation (as always); braille the entire m/s. unspaced; punctuate in the mathematical mode (precede each period with a punctuation indicator).Hi Susan
It appears that the attachment referred to earlier in this post seems to have disappeared. It was a pdf file named called pg 512&513 and I will attach it here again for you. I no longer have the example files that I added at the time, but will also attach an example from another post where I addressed this issue. Hope you find this answers your question!!
