[MusicTlk] Transcribing bar over bar brail music

[Lone Arranger]

Hi All,

I am a beginner with Braille Music and have a couple of questions for composers and transcribers.

First, I have read that the "Bar Over Bar" method is used when transcribing Braille Music, and a space is used to indicate a bar. How are the right hand line and the left hand line kept in sync? Keeping the bars of the two hands lined up vertically seems like a poor way to do this. Are bar numbers used to accomplish this?

Second, Are lead sheets used in Braille Music? If so, how?

Thanks
