Hi,
Thanks for answering me. I just want to make sure that I understand this correctly.
If I'm reading your answer right, in the first example on the top of the fraction, I would need a [bold indicator], then the [letter indicator], then d sub f - [bold indicator], [letter indicator] d sub o. Is that right?
And for the second fraction, I would need a [bold indicator] delta [letter indicator] d. I don't think I would need a letter indicator before the delta because that would already have a Greek letter indicator. Is that right? Or do I need another bold indicator after the delta?
I've added the brackets just for clarification - they wouldn't actually be keyed.
Thanks again!
DebFor those wishing to see these, send me a private message with an e-mail address to which I can send the examples.
Hi, I'm answering for Dorothy for a few days.
Vectors require a boldface and letter indicator. The typeform indicator only extends to the letter which follows it, so it must be repeated for each letter. The letters in the bottom half of the fraction which are not bold do not require a letter indicator.

Hi,
I've consulted a Chemistry Specialist about this and we have need more information. Could you provide a copy of this material so that we can look at the page? Was it made up by a teacher or part of published material?
Thanks, Mary
Hi, Dan,
Since the eighth-note is measured and there is no indication, such as the dotted bar line in Example 16.15-1, that the meter is suspended, I think you need to be very explicit in the braille. I think (without seeing the print) that I would use a measure-division sign after the eighth, and then show dot-5 rests for the remainder of the measure and a part-measure in-accord containing the small notes. In that case, the fragment-repetition device would be quite appropriate.
That's my opinion. I would welcome hearing from others.

Refer to page 136 in the lesson manual, notice that both question 21 in Exercise 8 and the example on page 136 refer to conjunction.Mary
The Nemeth code is based primarily on the presentation, appearance, or notation of the mathematics, in contrast to semantics. As Dr. Nemeth has written,
A Nemeth Code transcriber need not be proficient in mathematics; all that is required is to look up the symbols and follow the rules. That is what has attracted so many transcribers and what accounts for such a large collection of braille books in math and other natural sciences. Braille Into the Next Millennium

edited by william.parkar on 4/10/2010It just keeps coming! Here's another great suggestion from the Foreign Language Braille Committee. I notice that all the suggestions are different from each other, but they all refer back to the Formats rule about large enclosures. I think this showsn that while there may not always be a specific rule about the print situation, the best way to proceed is to USE the rules to create good solutions.
This latest solution comes with its own TN. It uses separate lists modeled on the procedures for large enclosures.

I like to recommend Volunteers of Vacaville (www.volunteersofvacaville.org). This is a prison group. Their rates are low and they do great work.

I have used Alan Ackley in the past and can recommend him highly. He is reliable and will take the whole thing apart and return it to you better than ever. I inherited my machine when my teacher died, and I had no idea how old the machine was. Alan looked at the serial number and told me my brailler was made in 1961.
I used him a few years ago, and my machine is just fine. http://www.braillerman.com/

Generally speaking, if a number precedes the degree symbol and the C, the degree symbol is presumed to apply to the number, in which case the C would be an abbreviation, would be spaced away from the degree symbol, and would be preceded by a letter indicator.
