[MusicTlk] guitar braille music question

I don't know all that much about braille music, especially guitar music, so this is probably not helpful, but in violin music those symbols are intervals. 
Dots 3-4-6 is a third, dots 3-5 is a fifth, dots 3-5-6 is a sixth, and dots 3-4-5-6 is a fourth. They can be stacked to make chords. You may already know this and this may be a totally different use. Someone should probably verify this, but that is my understanding from a violinist's perspective. 
Hope that helps and I'm sorry if it doesn't!
