I think there is probably a pretty straightforward model for how this could
work, based on the existing "next element" code Andrei added (which
navigates clefs and barlines and some other elements, but not
articulations, text, or crescendos) but making sure to also traverse the
"annotations" for each ChordRest segment, the Articulations for each
ChordRest, etc. Here as elsewhere, feedback from actusal blind users would
be useful.

There are other concerns here too. FreeDots is a good thing, but it is
pretty limited in what it can do. There are other automatic or
semi-automatic MusicXML->Braille converter, each of which also has
limitations but different progrsams have different strengths and
weaknesses. There are a few people out there in the world who have done
fairly extensive study of these issues that you might want to consult, also
it might be good to contact the develoeprs of these tools to get a sense of
their plans for the future to see which tool might make the most sense for
us to focus our integration efforts on. Frankly, I'm not 100% convinced it
wouldn't someday be worth implementing out own Braille export, working
directly from our own score representation (although I recognize that this
becomes one more thing to maintain over time, so I don't make this
statement lightly).
