Thank so much for the thought-out thorough answer. I think I get it now!!! (Until I run across the next thing that boggles my mind).

Cheers and Happy Holidays!

Thanks so much for the explanation. Can we expound just a little further on this? After recently attending the NBA conference, and reviewing some examples, we found numbers in brackets that were switched.  In Example 11 of Nemeth Within UEB Contexts, solution sets are in brackets.

Example:

... because both have solution set {3}.

So, my understanding is that in this case, the number in enclosures was switched because the enclosures have mathematical meaning.

Then in Example 14, all of the empty enclosures were also switched.

Example:

If the expression contains grouping symbols, such as parentheses ( ), brackets [ ], or a fraction bar, ...

So, these were switched because the text referred to them as mathematical grouping symbols and it would be confusing for the student to see them 2 different ways?

We are just trying to wrap our head around when to switch a number in enclosures and when not to.

Do you have any tips or tricks for helping us distinguish between the two situations?

I am trying to help my whole group understand this and I don't seem to be able to convey it to them in a way that everyone can understand. I don't even know if I understand. LOL

Thanks so much for clarifying!!

I am so confused. Can you please tell me how you would handle something very simple?

I am looking at Braille Formats 18.6.4 and trying to apply this to UEB.

18.6.4 Carets. Use a spaced caret symbol, 95 (35, 26), when a caret (^) indicates an insertion is to be made.
a. When print includes the insertion text, it is preceded by a spaced caret and followed by a spaced termination indicator  (6, 3). The caret and termination indicator must be on the same line(s) as the first and last words, respectively, of the inserted text.

Question:

Do we still use the caret for insertions in UEB text? See my attachment please. Would I use the UEB caret? If so, How would I terminate it?

 

Thanks!

Thanks Cindi! I completely understand and appreciate the clarification.

[Melissa Klepper]

Oh, but wait. In UEB I do not see a symbol for the unstressed syllable. I only see symbols for primary stress and secondary stress. 15.2. I am back to where I was... See example 15.2.1 on page 213. This one looks more like my situation. My symbols are printed above the lines of text. I am so confused now. I have attached a sample of one way I considered doing it.

Thanks again for quick response and clarification. I read the one on indexes but this was a little different because of the cell 5 heading. I am comforted to know I was on the right track. Sometimes I just need a second opinion, I appreciate you SO MUCH! I just have to say THANK YOU again, for taking the time to answer not just me, but all of us who have these types of inquiries. This is such a great resource for us all.
