Hello, and thanks for your interest! Braille output something that I know some people have given thought to. but as far as I know, there has been no work in this area. There was presumably some investigation as part of a recent Kickstarter project. See: http://blog.musescore.com/post/62818273654/braille-music However, there are a number of projects out there that are working on the more general problem of converting MusicXML to Braille, and MuseScore always strives to do MusicXML export well. So one possible avenue is to investigate which of the existing MusicXML->Braille converts makes the most sense to leverage, and then work on integrating this as seamlessly as possible. An interesting aspect of this type of project is that it might not directly allow blind people to create music, it would allow sighted people to create music *for* blind people, which is also important!
