Whereas DBT provides a lot of flexibility for the braille page numbers, I've
not been able to find a program setting or code to handle the Roman problem
for print page numbers. I've found it simplest when dealing with Roman page
numbers in a print document to manually type &+ in front of each numeral:
e.g. [lea]&+vii. It forces the letter sign on translation, which is retained
for lettered continuation pages. Include &+ in each page change and the
braille will be fine. Same result as the q~ code, but easier to type.
Anyone got a better handle on this?

Subject: [duxuser] Letter Indicator and Roman Numerals
I?m relatively new to Duxbury and am looking for help in
handling Roman numerals. I am transcribing a work in textbook format in
which the print pages bear lower case roman numerals. Following my first
?lea i-ix? command, the letter indicator appears before the first but not
the second roman numeral. Following the ?lec ix? command, there is a letter
indicator. However, subsequent ?lea? commands yield only the roman numeral
without any letter indicator. I tried putting in the ?svgrn~;? code but it
made no visible difference. I?m fixing the problem by putting in the ?q~;?
code for each occurrence but I?m sure there must be a better way. What am I
missing?
