Jean,
I check 9 braille books from different agencies, and all but one let
the page numbers run on.

The agency I work for is doing its first book in interpoint. It is a
novel, so it's not complicated. We're using textbook formatting
according to BANA. My question for list members is about page
numbering. It has been decided to force certain preliminary material
to an odd right-hand page. E.g., Special Symbols, Transcriber's
Notes, and maybe the beginning of the Table of Contents. I know how
to do that with the top and sd1 codes.
What is the best practice for treatment of the then blank odd page
number? Is it okay to leave the page numbers running with the page
blank, or should they be terminated. Are there interpoint guidelines
for this? If they should be terminated,, in other words, counted but
not embossed, how do you suppress the page numbers on the skipped
pages? We are thinking of braille page numbers on both odd and even
in the bottom right corner. Again, are there preferred practices for
this for interpoint?
If such a skip were needed in the body of a volume where you needed
to suppress both print and braille page numbers, how would that be
done? Again, would the count be implied but not embossed, left as
embossed, or not embossed with the new page on the right having to be reset?
I'm sure this is more complicated than it needs to be. My vote is to
allow the page number to run on the skipped even pages, but I'm
wondering if there is actually a correct way of doing this.
