I think I have seen the symbol Cindy is talking about, but I don't know for sure. In the book I am proofing submitted by Pamela Bortz, when there is a change of scene I see a two cell symbol that, in Grade 2 Braille, looks like dots 5 and 6 followed by what looks like a with sign with dots 7 and 8 added. I do not think this could be reproduced in Braille. Also, I don't know what it would look like if I were reading it in uncontracted Braille.

It sounds like something visual to me but don't go strictly by what we've said because there could be something we're not aware of. Good luck!

Each is preceded by an ornament and followed by its number in this edition in square brackets The ornnament precedes the fragment and then is the bracketed pages. I use an asterisk, as was told to me is proper, between stanzas. cindy --- On Fri, 6/10/11, Susan Lumpkin <slumpkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

I started using [ornament] and thought I'd use a symbol instead; first I thought of < then the section symbol because it's so pretty but then it occurred to me that that might be annoying to hear, and I don't know if it exists in braille, so what would be least annoying to you members; I could write pepper wwithout bracketstbrackets,or would that be confusing. I can't use an asterisk because that's used elsewhere. What would be least annoying to hear and easiest to "read" in braille. I hope to be able t upload this tonight or tomorrow, if the site works and if I finish as I hope, so whatever advice I get first I'll use.
