Code Pg. 59 Rule VIII–Sec. 52 Abbreviations must be punctuated in the literary mode, provided that the punctuation is at the same level as that abbreviation.
[quote=bstpeter]I received an email from NBA forummoderator advising me that Betty posted a response to my original question. I attached a copy of the table to my email reply on June 13th. Was anyone able to review it? If you cannot access the table there, please let me know how to attach it to a posting on this site.

Thank you, BarbaraThank you Larry I know how to read braille I am already Literary Certified I am interested in becoming certified in Music and was quite sure how to go about it, never really heard much about any courses, would love to know more.
Thanks again!Is Rule XIII Sec. 77 what you are looking for?
The subscript indicator must not be used to indicate a numeric subscript provided that all of the following conditions hold:
i. The corresponding numeric sign must be a right, and not a left, subscript.
ii. The corresponding numeric sign must be subscript of first order, and not of higher order.
iii. The sign with which the numeric subscript is associated must be an abbreviated function name (log2) or a letter which has a separate identity. In the latter case, this letter must not be any letter which represents a numeral in a non-decimal base. Otherwise, the letter may be from any alphabet and in any type form, and may be modified by one or more primes or a superscript. In the case of a two-letter abbreviation for a chemical compound, the abbreviation must be treated as if it were a letter.
iv. The subscript must consist of numeric symbols only, and must carry no superscripts or subscripts of its own.
edited by CrepeMyrtle on 6/9/2011If you are asking how to braille the actual page number in Nemeth, you would insert the multipurpose Indicator after the letters, rather than using the numeric indicator. See Rule XXIII, section 177.
Nancy,
We can provide post-secondary tactile graphics. Please contact Sandy Greenberg at sgreenberg@atpc.net.
I am interested in either completing certification for Nemeth Braille or brailling literary braille for someone or organization. I’ve been certified in literary braille for a number of years, maybe 20? Thank you for any information available. I did note the suggested organizations to contact for literary braille, but the comments sounded like just research questions.
Would you be able to post an copy of your print? It would certainly be helpful. I am trying to understand why you would place a TN “in the middle of 5/3 diresctions”. Transcriber’s notes are always placed in 7/5, apart from the exception in Nemeth of 7 or fewer words, which may be embedded within the text (not on a new line).
In your 2nd question, does the note pertain to the main item, or to the subdivision? I really need to see the print in order to determine how best to handle this.Betty
I am referring to the Five-Step Rule for Transcribing Modified Expressions. You can find it in the “Nemeth Braille Code For Mathematics”. Rule XIV (p. 99). I also like to refer the the lesson book “An Introduction to Braille Mathematics”. Lesson 11 (p. 187) expains it very clearly and has some good examples.
Not sure if these will be what you need, but APH will be airing a couple Webinars on Tactile Graphics in June. Check it out here http://www.aph.org/training/
I just looked in the old forum and found a couple of posts that addressed this issue. I see that the 5-step method is the correct way to handle underlined numbers, according to the code.
