Re: Music Notation Accessibility

Hello:

I suggest that for the present since there is no good way to render
music in an accessible way that three types of files should be created:
1. Downloadable MusicXML
2. Downloadable .brf file. The result of converting the MusicXML to braille.
3. A playable and downloadable midi file.
In this way, the user could download the format of his/her choice. Blind
users could either listen to the music or read the braille score. Others
could use the MusicXML with other software.

Regards,

Robert
