[Ct-nfb] a new and interesting thread

[Sandra Streeter]

Hi, everyone:

Since the NFB, as yet, has no low-tech product listserv, here’s a question to consider. Currently, I’m making notes in my Braille music scores (plastic paper from APH, triple-spaced between lines of text—no Braille music notation) using a pencil stylus, through the back of the page. For instance, I signify “crescendo” by marking in an upward arrow above the word where the dynamic change begins to happen. I’ve done this for years, and it’s generally a satisfactory system, but I’m now trying to troubleshoot another angle (one of my “duh” moments: don’t know why it didn’t occur to be earlier). Since conductors performing the same piece might require different things, and I really don’t want to have to re-Braille the entire score or even part of it, given a choice—can anyone think of a semi-permanent marking system I can form the different-shaped tactile markings with, that would last through a season of work, not stick to the back of preceding pages, and not be terribly expensive? I want something I can keep on the pages for a long time, but which can be removed or changed as needed. I have ben participating in a yearly requiem sing with one group, to commemorate 9-11, and that director’s  requirements are somewhat different than those set by our director for our January Mystic River Chorale concert, for the Faure “Requiem”. Thanks!
