Hi,

I have a copy of the circle of fifths that we used in band class, 
in braille.  The problem is, I don't know how to read it 
correctly.  It is in letter notation instead of sheet music.  My  
V-I teacher made it for me in eighth grade, since she can read 
piano music, which looks the same as clarinet.

I also want to copy it down on the Apex, so I can send it to a 
friend, but don't want to copy it wrong.  The circle of fifths 
looks something like this.  The numbers on the side are the 
measures.

1: d e f-sharp g
2: a b c-sharp d
3: c-sharp b a g
f-sharp e d

5: g a b c
6: d e f-sharp g
7: f-sharp e d c
8: b a g


I also cannot tell which scale is which.  I want to label them, 
like this:

c scale
c d e f g a b c
