Sorry for the delay in responding - I missed this post somehow.
I would say yes.
The rules for 'ance' say to use the final-letter groupsign when the letters it represents follow a letter, a contraction, a modified letter or a ligatured letter unless other rules limit its use...I could not find any rules that limit its use. On page 123, there is an example of the name Frances - and the 'ance' is used there.

This is a good question. Technically, none of them do. However, there needs to be distinction between the continuation indicators and the roman numerals. The suggested practice is to put the grade 1 indicator between the lettered continuation indicator and roman numeral.

I have a question to add. how do we terminate the keyed label? BF 16.9.1h states:
“A spaced termination indicator follows the completion of the labeled passage.”
EBAE uses dots 6,3 to terminate everything; underlining, single letter emphasis, colored typeforms, highlighting, etc.
UEB usually adds a dot 3 to the symbol to terminate the effect of the symbol. Do we add a dot 3 to the keyed label to terminate the label, that way if there is more than 1 label we can terminate them in the order they need to be? Otherwise are we to throw a 6,3 in and let the reader figure out what label was terminated?
EXAMPLE: [simbraille].#?ma[/simbraille] This is an example of marginal material. [simbraille].#?ma'[/simbraille]
I know we are not supposed to create our own symbols, however, sometimes you must think of what might aid the student in understanding what is effected and where it ends (in order).
Thank youIf the punctuation is included in the emphasis, the terminator should follow the punctuation. If it is not included in the emphasis, the terminator should precede the punctuation. If you can't tell if the punctuation is included in the emphasis, put the terminator after the punctuation for better readability.

No, the word 'tens' in this example is part of the math and does not need the switch indicator. It is, of course, uncontracted as it is next to an equal sign.
Cindi
Yes, you can use contractions in email addresses. You do need to be aware of the rules governing the contractions in question...and there will be times contractions shouldn't be used. For instance, if numeric mode has been initiated, that also initiates grade one mode which means no contractions unless grade one mode is terminated.
In the examples you sent, the "for" "in" and "ed" contractions may be used.

I would say that the prime qualifies as a nonalphabetic symbol and, according to UEB 8.4.2, that would terminate the capitalized word indicator.
Cindi
Sorry for the delay in responding.
While I, personally, agree with you, you will notice that the word likeable uses the ea contraction...so I think they are correct according to UEB rules.

One more question about this, if I may!
In the expression AA'BB'CC', I will use the capital word indicator before the first A. Does the prime sign terminate the capital indicator, therefore requiring me to repeat the cap word indicator after each prime symbol?
Thanks Cindi!
This was the suggestion I received. I do not know if it would cause a conflict with the music code.
I would not use the circumflex modifier over a number. I do believe it is intended only for letters. What you can use is the "hat over previous item" (dots 5, 156). This is discussed in the Guidelines for Technical Material, section 12. It is used with numbers and even with letters in a technical context. Unlike the accent/modifier signs, it is placed after the digit or letter.
Hope this helps!

The grade 1 indicator would only be required if the letter is standing alone. With the prime attached, they are no longer standing alone...so no, a grade 1 indicator would not be required.

Hi Cindi. Thanks for the reference to the parallelogram. As shown in Guidelines for Tech. Material, p. 65, the symbol for the parallelogram would be preceded by the shape indicator (1246). Still, dot 4 is a UEB prefix, and it really shouldn't be used in a non-UEB way in literary text.
Just to clarify, "scale degree" is a fundamental concept in music theory, but the caret and number are literary symbols, not music symbols.
I previously thought we could use the caret symbol (4)(26), but UEB (p. 24) refers us to Section 4.2, for a circumflex above a letter. The caret symbol seems to be reserved for indicating insertion of text.
Many of these numbers (all with the ^ above) often appear in hyphenated sequences, e.g., 4-2, 1-2-3-4, and even longer sequences. UEB modifiers cannot be doubled, and the grouping indicators (126)(345) also don't seem applicable. The two-cell symbol for the circumflex would need to precede each number.
Does the UEB circumflex (45)(146) mean anything else when followed by a plain, one-digit number?
