39. Line-over-Line

39.1. Differences from Bar-over-Bar Format

The line-over-line method differs from bar-over-bar in only three respects: (a) the principle of vertical alignment is disregarded; (b) it is not necessary to put special octave marks for the first notes of measures; and (c) the regularity of parallels may be interrupted when one of the parts has repeats or rests corresponding to more than one braille line of music in the other part or parts. The following examples illustrate these points. The remaining rules for bar-over-bar format apply equally to line- over-line.
