[MusicTlk] Braille Notetakers and Music software

[Chase Crispin]

Hi Shannon,
As someone else mentioned, it's tough to get actual notation programs to run
accessibly on a note taker. However, if you use the Lime Aloud and Goodfeel
software from Dancing Dots on a PC to generate the braille music, you can
read that on a note taker. Goodfeel creates it's music output in a .gf file,
which is essentially a BRF file. If you rename the file to have a .brf
extension rather than a .gf extension, any device that can open braille
files will be able to manipulate that file. I do this often to read music on
the go with my Braille Sense Polaris, but any note taker should handle these
files equally well.
I hope this helps.

Hello,

I'm just curious as to which braille notetakers will read braille music
notation? I'm looking at software such as Dancing Dots, and MuseScore (app
and website) as well as Symphony for iPad and am interested to know if there
is a particular braille notetaker that will read more of the software. I'm
looking at a notetaker for portability reasons over a braille display. Any
information would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Shannon
