Good for you, You make us Bn users proud. I play the piano for a babtest "However you spell that!" church and I also use my BN. I place it on top of the piano, well, it's not a piano, it's a old Keyboard, and I read my song list. I've also started teaching parts to the chorus and I keep notes in the BN too. Although I do not know how to write BRAILLE music notation I just write out the parts using letters. I've made my own musical notation.
I love my BN and everything it helps me to do. I wish I could use my BN as a TTY, TDD. I have deaf friends and coworkers and this would greatly help me. I hope sometime in the future the BN can do this. It would make my life so much eazyer. OH!!! I wish it could do more with E-MAILS too. The BN is a great thing and I don't know how I could ever live with out it. I love to read in what new ways users are using the BN. Frank M.
