Just a slight correction. The new line markers should be placed BEFORE switching grades, so you would actually tap ENTER, switch to Computer Braille, type the Computer Braille text, hit ENTER, and switch back to Grade II, and continue writing. Just a comment, because you had said that one would hit ENTER after switching to Computer Braille. It's the spaces which would be placed after switching grades, meaning one would switch to Computer Braille after typing the last Grade II character, hit SPACE to separate the last Grade II from the first Computer Braille word, type the text in Computer Braille, switch to Grade II, hit SPACE, and continue writing in Grade II.
