I wish MusicXml were more readily available as well.

So what exactly does it do? You can writein music braille and it 
will export.  To be honest, I don't like the way most music 
braille is written and tend to write my own.  What I mean by that 
is ow don't like repeat signs I'd rather just have the notes 
repeated so I don't have to go hunt for it.  That's just me 
though.  But it would be good to have a way to write music.  I 
wish more publishers were more willing to make things available 
in musicxml.  Has anyone had a lot of luck with this from anyone?

 There's this other one called Braille Music Editor.  It's more 
for writing braille music.  One advantage is that you can export 
as MusicXml print music and MIDI.  There's some bugs in the app, 
but I like the overall design.

 They were at CSUN, so lots of people who were there knew about 
it.  *lol*

 I appreciate Dancing Dots and the other Braille music software
 developers.  I understand that it costs them something to 
develop the
 software, so it'd need to cost us something to use it.  But I'm
 grateful for this option as well, esp if my Win7 ever decides to 
bite
 the dust.

 Still Reading the Manual,
 Dani

 It definitely gets my vote that is for sure.  I just played 
around with it
 a
 little while I listen to the Cubs game, and the little bit I 
looked at O
 Fortuna, it looks good.  Now if only I can get the community 
orechestra to
 give me the music, problem solved.

 But it also has textural representation, yes it gives you what 
notes are
 played together at once and not the whole measure, but for 
people who don't
 care for Dancing Dots software like myself or people who also 
are not great
 braille music readers, it can show you in written text or 
braille music and
 you can turn eei on or off atw.  This is a wonderful program, 
it's free, and
 the people who make it are generous with their help.  It has its 
flaws but
 it's free and it works.  It's also a new thing out.  Or at least 
widely
 publicized.  My guess is they would take feedback but their goal 
is to take
 you through the piece step by step and I kind of like it  
because it makes
 it easier to determine what notes are played at the same time.  
I'm an
 intermediate braille music reader and this helps me remember 
symbols even
 if
 it's not propper representation.  Rcclistically, a lot of us use 
displays
 anyway and that's ne going to be perfect.  And this works with 
Windows 10
 rarely crashes.  I just can't say enough good about it, could it 
use
 improvements ure, but kudos to Ibos!  Blind ghargains nor Top 
Tech Tidbits
 knew about it until I told them to contact those places.  
Everyone won't
 like
 it but for those of us who can't afford and refuse to use 
Dancing Dots,
 this
 is a lifesaver.
