[Perform-Talk] DottedNotes — bidirectional braille ⇄ LilyPond/MusicXML translator (built out of my own frustration transcribing orchestral scores)

[Ella Yu]

Hey Judith, I too don't know much about vocal music, but basically for
lyrics you would need support for various literary braille tables. At least
how Sao Mai Braille and even MuseScore do it is by integrating Liblouis,
while BrailleMuse seems to have given up entirely in this department. But
to anybody reading, if you're looking for MusicXML to braille translation,
definitely try Sao Mai Braille, it's really good and free.
