> Yes trying to get it from sheet music publishers is about impossible. I think it should fall under the Ada perhaps I'm wrong. Shouldn't they have to follow the same laws as anything whereby they can't say you can't put it in another format. Just be aware that most of these people do have it in musicxml or they can do it within 5 minutes. I have one publisher that will for me but I had to threaten lawsuits and scream and yell and then was asked not to reveal which publisher had helped me because he doesn't want to be inundated with  requests, but if you make them research it, threaten a lawsuit demand a manager at one of these places, you might get help. I guess because it takes more time people worry if they do it for one person, then everyone will want to do it,  I can  get most music  I wish there was more harp music out there with the person I can go to I got very lucky and wish everyone had the same oprortunity. I wonder if its a case the Nfb should take it because for instance when I paid for a book for school and their format was not accessible, they had to make accommodations and that was the publisher not the school. SHOULDN'T this  apply to everyone?  I know I was on a harp group asking for people to put harp music in musicxml if I bought it, and a lady who creates audio transcripts for blind people charging 7 bucks a page starts screaming that if anyone helps me, they're breaking copyright. This publisher I talked to went to his legal team and talked to them before helping me. It is perfectly legal despite this one chic lying. I'm just tired of everything costing us an arm and a leg. I don't mind paying fair price and if Dancing Dots stuff was  more up to date, I'd gladly use it, but as for this nonsense of people not being able to or claiming it violates copyright because ofen the publishers do it, they're lying! They just don't want the headache. If you're contacting a publisher in America, threaten a lawsuit or to bombast them on social media. That's what I had to do.
