It purportedly allows people to use six-key keyboard entry for Braille music notation, and also allows for assistive technology to read Braille music. I would be extremely interested to hear from anyone who has tried this out, or is willing to. You can find the MuseScore blog on this below, as well as a download. Please let me know what the user experience is like, any obstacles you encounter, etc. This could be a major step forward for blind composers and performers. </span><div><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 11pt;">MuseScore blog: </span><a href="https://www.mu.se/post/704tef5v71-accessibility-breakthrough-compose-in-br" style="font-size: 11pt;">
