[nabs-l] Questions about embossers

[Nicole B. Torcolini]

I do not have answers to most of these questions, but I do have an answer to 
one. I do not think that any embosser will or won't work with music. As long 
as you have the software for Braille music, and the embosser is compatible 
with that software, you are fine.
