rDouglass writes "After meeting Eunah Choi, a blind pianist from S. Korea
(video), and learning about the accessibility problems faced by classical
musicians who cannot see, MuseScore is planning to radically increase the
number of Braille scores available, to make them easier to find, and
affordable to acquire. This effort is an extension to the Open
Well-Tempered Clavier project, and will involve the creation of a free
web-service that bridges the gap between open source MuseScore and
MusicXML-to-Braille libraries. It also involves converting the 50,000
scores on MuseScore.com into Braille, and making the website more
accessible to blind and vision impaired visitors."
