Subfields
‡a Category of material The category of material to which the item belongs is a tactile material. Tactile material is intended to be read by touch.
f Tactile material
‡b Specific material designation
a Moon. The material uses a line based tactile code in which many of the letters are simplified versions of the printed alphabet.
b Braille. The material uses a system of tactile code in which letters, numerals and punctuation are raised dots.
c Combination. The material uses two or more of the other defined types.
d Tactile, with no writing system. The material is composed only of graphics represented by raised line diagrams or drawings.
u Unspecified. The specific material designation is not specified.
z Other. None of the other codes is appropriate.
‡d Class of braille writing

The family of braille to which the item belongs. Use also to indicate the class of braille of the text labels of cartographic or graphic items. Indicate up to 2 braille types in order of predominance. If only one code is indicated, the code is left-justified with blank fill.

Note: Do not use subfield ‡d when a class of braille writing is not specified.

a Literary braille. The braille consists of the alphabet, numbers and punctuation representations commonly used in general writing.
b Format code braille. The braille consists of representations generally used in textbooks and related material
c Mathematics and scientific braille. The braille consists of representations for the symbols used in mathematics and scientific writing.
d Computer braille. The braille consists of representations for the symbols used in computer programs, texts, and other computer related materials.
e Music braille. The braille consists of representations for symbols used in notated music.
m Multiple braille types. The braille consists of various braille classes with no one class predominating.
n Not applicable. The item does not contain braille. Use code n in both positions.
u Unknown. The class of braille writing is not known.
z Other. None of the other codes is appropriate.
‡e Level of contraction

Whether contractions are used. Contractions are abbreviations of one or more moon or braille characters representing common letter combinations.

a Uncontracted. The item is not contracted. Use for grade 1 braille.
b Contracted. The item is contracted. Use for Standard English braille; the code for contracted braille of the Braille Authority of the United Kingdom and English Braille, American edition; and the code for contracted braille of the Braille Authority of North America.
m Combination. The item is a combination of contracted and uncontracted writing.
n Not applicable. The item does not contain moon or braille.
u Unknown. The level of contraction is not known.
z Other. None of the other codes is appropriate.
‡f Braille music format

Type of braille music format. Music formats are the way measures, sections, parts, and related information, such as words, are presented in relation to each other. For example, the music format defines how the music for the right and left hand are sequenced and related to each other in braille. Multiple formats can be used in the same piece of music. For example, a vocal part and text are in one format and the accompaniment is in another. Indicate up to three formats, left-justified in order of predominance. If fewer than three formats, the codes are left-justified with blank fill.

Note: Do not use subfield ‡f when a braille music format is not specified.

a Bar over bar. The measures are displayed in parallels. The beginning of each part's measure is vertically aligned with the beginning of the same measure for the other part(s). Use for keyboard music.
b Bar by bar. The music is displayed in indented paragraphs with all of the parts for each measure written consecutively.
c Line over line. The measures are displayed in parallels, but the measures are not necessarily aligned.
d Paragraph. The braille music is displayed in paragraphs with one part per paragraph.
e Single line. The music is presented in segments of two to five lines. The initial line displays a measure number or rehearsal designation. Use for single instrumental parts or solos. Also referred to as the solo instrumental format.
f Section by section. Hand or part signs are prominent in the left margin.
g Line by line. Lines of text alternate with lines of music for the preceding text.
h Open score. The measures are displayed in parallels. Use for ensemble scores.
i Spanner short form scoring. The chord symbols and the melody are presented in paragraphs. Use music braille for the symbols. Use for popular and folk music. Use also to indicate that the music is in the Canadian melody chord system.
j Short form scoring. The words, chord symbols and melody are presented in parallels. Use literary braille for the chord symbols. Use for popular and folk music. Also referred to as the American or BANA short form scoring format.
k Outline. The music is in an outline format.
l Vertical score. The parts are combined and written as chords.
n Not applicable. The item is not braille music. Use code n in all three positions.
u Unknown. The braille music format is not known.
z Other. None of the other codes is appropriate.
‡g Special physical characteristics

Other characteristics about the file.

a Print/braille. The item is eye-readable print with braille interleaved or embossed.
b Jumbo or enlarged braille. The item is jumbo or enlarged braille, which is used for braille students and braille readers with reduced tactile sensitivity.
n Not applicable. The item is not in braille.
u Unknown. The special physical characteristics are not known.
z Other. None of the other codes is appropriate.
