Hi Dani,
I don't live in the US, so don't know all the details of BANA layout
conventions.
However, the important thing to remember is that UEB is a braille code, not a
braille format. So, unless you receive information to the contrary, the layout
requirements of UEB are the same as your previous braille code. In other words,
the layout conventions you use should hopefully be unaffected by the adoption
of UEB.
So, with regard to word splitting and hyphenation, the requirements should be
the same. Details of coding are in the Rules of Unified English Braille, but of
when to do it, will still be in the BANA formats book.
I trust this helps.
With best regards,
James.

Subject: [ueb-ed] UEB and Hyphenated Words
Hi, Everyone.
I'm transcribing a piece of poetry, and need to ask about hyphenated
compound words and what to do with them if they come at the end of a
Braille line. Should I separate the word after the hyphen, or move the
whole thing to the next line?
How does UEB handle hyphenation? I'm so used to EBAE, with its space
saving and dividing of syllables at the end of lines. Please help this
old dog learn if there is a new trick.
Thanks,
Dani
