Example 13-5: Diagrammed Scansion with Ictus (slash) and X and new study guide

[Dawn Hand]

This is a question about Example 13-5: Diagrammed Scansion with Ictus (slash) and X.

The example from the new study guide is a bit different. I have attached a file with snippets.

The first braille bit snippet is from the new study guide.  It uses the grade one indicator before the X stress marks… and it explains why. 

The 2nd snippet is from the formats book.  It is the same thing with different words, and should be done the same way but its not…

It uses the dot locator for “use” grade one passage,

 

Are they BOTH right?    Thank you!

Hello Dawn,

Thank you for your question. Your questions highlights the  flexibility of the use of grade one indicators within the UEB code. In this situation both transcriptions are correct.  You can use the grade one indicator on single letters or place the grade one passage indicator before the entire second transcription.

Based on my personal preference, I would use the format with the grade one indicator on the x. Since the second version per the formatting guidelines doesn’t use contractions, the grade one passage indicator is not needed. My rationale here is that the two cells used by the grade one indicator are the same as used for the other stressed syllable marks.
