My apologies. I believed this would be a UEB question because of where Formats directed me to. My whole question is made with the assumption that the bullet is not a triangle.
Thanks,

<p class=”isSelectedEnd”>Thank you, Jan. I appreciate your response, but I’m still looking for a bit more clarification.</p>
<p class=”isSelectedEnd”>I’ve reviewed Formats 8.6 and 8.62. My understanding is that I would not use the triangle or any of the other bullets shown in the Formats examples because the symbol in question is not actually a triangle or any other symbol with a braille equivalent.</p>
That leads me to my question regarding the transcriber-defined symbol indicator versus the transcriber-defined shape indicator. Could you help me understand how to determine which of these should be used in this situation? Or, do you believe I should simply use a triangle?Your guidance is greatly appreciated.
Hello again,
Yes, I believe you understood the question and thank you for the scenario. It all sounds right to me and I agree with you.
And if I understand you correctly, we use the print page number that applies.
For further clarification I just want to go a little further. Let’s say volume three contains chapter 3 and the notes in chapter 3 appear on the next print page 739. In the ToC, is the print page 739 used for the Notes entry page number? Or is the print page number 738, which is the only page number shown in the Toc for the Notes entry in print, used for all volumes?
Thanks for your help on this!
Thanks Cindi.
Not sure why I said verse. I meant dialogue.
I did treat the text the way you mentioned except for the dialogue. I thought that was to be treated differently. This definitely makes the most sense to me though.

Thank you so much for the quick reply to this question. I came across this situation while brailling marginal labels. So a 2 letter key followed by a space and then the text enclosed within braille grouping indicators is what is actually in the braille volume I am transcribing.
The marginal labels appear in an example student essay. I included information I believed would be enough to get the question answered. It seems I did not fully think it out as I should of provided the exact example and all that it entails. I have attached a similar example that has both an alphabetic wordsign and a shortform word that is not standing alone due to the braille grouping indicators. I have omitted text, represented by an ellipsis, for space considerations. Thanks.
