[MusicTlk] Getting music translation questions answered

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Tracy:

Good idea—thanks for the tip. I'm currently facing a similar dilemma. I have been asked to accompany a friend in his upcoming student recital, and I have a PDF of the print music for the piano accompaniment alone. He was also able to find audio recordings of the pieces which include both my part and his, and I think I could practice with those if necessary, but having the Braille music with the piano part isolated would be very helpful. Unfortunately, I don't have a Braille embosser at home, and I haven't bought a personal copy of the Dancing Dots suite yet, thinking it was far too expensive for a hobbyist; maybe this performance will make me do it. Perhaps I could use Aira as you suggested. If anyone else has any ideas, I would love to hear them.
