[SHELLEE KOTSCHWAR]

is it permissible to open Nemeth at the top box line of box #1 and close in the bottom box line of box #2?

Hi Shellee.

Including the switch indicators within the box lines is format option 2. in the "Guidance for Transcription Using the Nemeth Code within UEB Contexts" and will also be in the new Nemeth code. However, there are no examples of consecutive boxes like you have in your example. Since box lines may be transcribed in either UEB or Nemeth, and since Nemeth continues after that first bottom box line, I see no problem waiting until the end of the second bottom box line to terminate Nemeth code.
