<div dir="ltr">Because this is an artist's signature, I'd be inclined to interpret the omissions and missing space as a deliberate transformation of her forename and surname into a symbol (similar to a monogram). So, I think I'd follow 1G8, and transcribe it exactly: <span style="color:rgb(149,55,53)">noémielsqins</span> <br><br>But I think adding the space and supplying the missing letters like you did would also work, as long as you make a note that her name appears as "<span style="color:rgb(149,55,53)">noémielsqins</span>" in the signature, so that people know it's not that you're trying to represent a design where the missing "e" and "u" are represented by swirls of colour or something.<br><br>Yours,<br>Erin.<br><span style="font-size:x-small;font-family:Arial">----------------</span><br style="font-size:x-small;font-family:Arial"><span style="font-size:x-small;font-family:Arial">Erin C.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">One small question: could anyone confirm if my interpretation of the transcription rules of DCRM(G) is correct for the following case?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I am cataloguing an art print and the artist signed her name without spacing between her name and Surname, and with some letter missing.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">So, instead of <span style="color:#953735">
Noémie Lesquins</span>, the name appears on the document as <span style="color:#953735">
noémielsqins</span>.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Since rule 0G4.2 applies to all descriptive elements, I figured I could probably add the spacing between her name and surname. I also applied rule 0G6 to add the missing letters in square brackets. The result is :
<span style="color:#953735">
245 10 $aPostures /$cNoémie L[e]sq[u]ins</span>.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Is this a legitimate interpretation of the rules?<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Many thanks :)<u></u><u></u></span></p>
