Larry, thank you!
I already did the pedaling as you suggested - hurrah!
I did also move the annotations to a separate section (pages) at the end of each piece.
What I DIDN'T do (and perhaps SHOULD do?) is change them to numbered references instead of putting them in list-form by measure-number. This would require that I re-format the music to include a footnote indication within each of the 19 annotated measures of the piece. If that is more accurate, I will do so before sending the volumes off to the client.
Thank you again for your help.
ChristinaHere is (more or less) how I'd do it. (Opinions expressed by this user are his own, and may not reflect the opinion of the experts at this site.)
Your mileage may vary.

Since this project has already shipped, I hope I haven't hopelessly confused the student with my treatment.
Thanks for following up.
edited by braillepro on 3/24/2014We checked with someone knowledgeable in chemistry. Those are paired electron dots, so you would use 1456. Look at example 4.1.5-2 in the Chemistry Code book. It appears very similar to the example you attached.
My two colleagues have the same problem. The "solution" has been to keep them on Windows XP. Since the rest of us have Windows 7, that creates compatibility issues, so they have separate laptops for accessing other documents and sites. Our IT specialist says he may have a work-around, but it would involve deep alterations in the bowels of the computer. Sorry to give you basically a non-answer, but at least you know the problem does not rest solely with you.
Another transcriber said she was told to do it this way:
,,xi".12It's a decimal point and the roman numerals are not individual letters so they are double capped.
Just wanted to be sure due to the new updates for Nemeth.
Thank you.I have never considered showing superscript ordinals as superscript, but I can find no rule against it. Can someone point me to the applicable rule?
Thanks, in advance.

Quotation marks, opening and closing. The term is guillemets, pronounced GEE-uh-may, g as in get, often used in Europe. See Interim Manual Section 6.e(1). Sometimes they are inverted, as explained, but not in this example. Just substitute English quotation marks. However if BOTH guillemets and English quotation marks are used in the book, add a TN to explain that English quotation marks are used in braille for both. It's explained in the Manual clearly.

I don't think that this single tilde is being used as a comparison sign since, in the second instance in this example, it follows a "less than" sign. This tilde means “approximately” much in the same way the tilde means “not” in logic. (It is a qualifier here, not a sign of comparison.) I would braille it unspaced from the number to which it applies.
