I just wanted to mention that UEB and Nemeth are reading formats that are not automatically familiar to braille readers or their teachers. In many cases it might be a kindness to include in your documents a list of the new symbols that a person would encounter. I remember that in grammar school and high school the math books did contain Nemeth code but nobody ever took the trouble to teach us to read it. We learned by trial and error jand we never learned to write it. Perhaps Duxbury can recommend some symbols lists that transcribers could incorporate into their braille documents. It might make a world of difference.
