I agree with you about taking out the clutter. But rather let the author of the menus find it out from you and not from someone else. Whatever I think, bear in mind that one's views on how closely Braille should emulate print is an intensely political one. In other words, even if I prefer the absence of the emphasis for myself, I might still hold to the belief that as a supplier of Braille I ought to give the Braille reader what the print reader got. And with Braille issues, there is no middle path to tread with confidence.

Up to this point my embossing has been for my own use, so I set things up the way I like to read them. When I emboss the files I was given for the menus, dots 4 and 6 preceed each menu item. I'm guessing that the print might be italicized or something and that's why. My question is, should I leave it that way, or remove the dots 4,6. If it were for my own use I would remove them. To me, they're just unnecessary extra dots. I want to do this correctly. What do you recommend.
