Stop the presses! I've been corrected and set right by a REAL expert. I am told that the thing to do here is to bring 46 over the volume 2 after all, which I think was suggested in the first place.
End volume 1 at 45 (appropriate continuation page) and being volume 2 with 46-47.
Better?

I THINK I see the confusion, though. The reason why you don't have to account for this blank page is that it's the last one. There are no pages after it, so there's nothing to account for. But you have raised a very good point.

I'm sorry for the confusion, I used the wrong term. Did not really mean page change indicator, just new print page numbering (46) on new braille page up at the top right. Maybe my initial hesitation to do this from the get-go was that I was thinking when we had blank pages, we must account for them, and the way to do this was through combining our print page numbers. But, you have answered my question perfectly, and I now know this is not always necessary.
I like your decision to use the new option of facing pages with a fold-out. I would not worry about the fact that the student will need to flip back and forth. I have seen many students read with two hands, left hand on the graphic and right hand reading the questions on the next page front underneath. No problem! It is more important that your key face the diagram.
The statement at the top of this page can just as well be formatted as a 3-1 narrative paragraph: "For questions 53-57, refer to the Luminosity and Temperature of Stars diagram below." Follow that paragraph with your notes, key, etc.
I think it is obvious that the questions follow the diagram--I see no reason to explain in a TN.
Yes, this is displayed material (set apart by "some means"). I would suggest inserting a transcriber's note that says "Think:" before each set. Even though only the first set shows solutions, the student should be given the same information the print reader has here, namely how many equations to think about. I would reproduce each set.
If you need a jump start, see the attached file.
Hello, again,
I think I found part of my answer to my question after doing a bit more researching--I will just use standard Nemeth code for the hotkeys. But here is a more specific question regarding the same attachment. On the right-hand column, if you down to the bottom third, there are key sequences starting with CTRL, and then + another key. Since CTRL could be thought of as an abbreviation, should I leave a space before the the + sign? Thank you so much, and I apologize my first post was so general.
SusanRule II defines and lists numeric signs and symbols. An operation sign is not a numeric symbol. Your third transcription is correct -- each italicized numeral requires an italic indicator and a numeric indicator. The numeral 2 does not need a numeric indicator since it is unspaced from the preceding operation sign.
It looks good to me, the only other way I see to tighten it up is to put your name on the same line as Transcribed by. It is amazing how much extra room the website address and printing history take.
Thanks for the samples.
Hi Lynnette,
After I took the "total volumes" line out of the title page, this helped to free up. I was able to have two blank lines total. It still looks a little crowded, and am not sure if I should try to rearrange the blank lines. I will attach the braille copy, as well as the info for the title page. Thanks for any comments or suggestions.
Susan
