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.

knowing how to use the information you get."
