Thanks, Dorothy! Both options are beautiful - but what if there are headings for the columns and rows? Here's an example of what I'm looking at.
Sorry - having trouble with uploading the file - the columns have the heading "eggs" and the rows have the heading "sperm." Would it be best to explain the headings in a TN and not try to fit them into the square format?

Kathleen,

I think it's easier than it looks. The directions of the stems do not mean anything in the braille. You can simply show the alternating fingerings, open with the down-stems, 4th with the up-stems. The violinist will know immediately.

Have a great new year!

Hi, Kathleen.

There is nothing about this question in the code, but I cannot think of any good reason not to use the irregular-group indication before the note and the fractioning sign after it. I think the meaning is perfectly clear.

If anybody thinks otherwise, they are most welcome to post their thoughts here.
Cheers.

So very cool! Don't understand why the symbol didn't come through. It's just the "the" symbol. The foreign language manual probably has more than you ever wanted to know about foreign languages, but it does have all the dot assignments for the accented letters in the various languages all in one handy place.

Ooh! I don't have that resource. Thanks for the lead. (In the meantime... do you know the symbol?) 🙂

Do you have the NBA Interim Manual for Foreign Language Braille Transcription? See Section 14.8a. [simbraille]![/simbraille]

I think two or three short measures should not confuse your reader, who must be quite skilled to be reading full scores.

Thanks for posting, and good luck to you.
