Hello,
Claire wrote
"I use non-breaking hyphens and spaces as recommended"
The only place I have seen non-breakiing spaces recommended for Indexes is on page 304 of Adobe's CIAB. That recommendation was for an example on how to solve the issue of an index entry on a line and the single page number for that entry appearing on the following line as an orphan. The operation to solve this example is in the SeparatorsIX paragraph of the reference page.

When I show this example in courses I also add that the second separator (comma space) should be left with an ordinary space just to avoid the situation that Claire has.

So my question for Claire is - where are non-breaking spaces recommended for index separators, especially as the separator between first and subsequent page numbers.
Cheers
Ian
