Thank you very much! That's what a wish list is for, and it's really
gratifying that they are taken seriously.
Best wishes,
Dan

Hi Dan,
Having slept on it, I can see your problem, in so much as you want to use
six-key entry in DBT for Braille Music, which in turn has special rules for
page headers.
In the short term, I can only suggest using hard spaces as a mentioned
before. However I am going to request that this issue be put into the
database under the subject of "Greater Header Flexibility (e.g. Music
Rules)".
Meantime, I've also copied one of my Music Braille experts and programmer,
who may be able to shed some formal light on this rather complex rule.
George Bell.
