Hi James, Yes, your answer is quite helpful to me.
I am a braille teacher. At the moment I have one adult student who is learning braille. The person in question is a student at a conservatory whose sight is deteriorating. I have some 50-year old knowledge of braille music and I can teach the basics. I would like to give the student some music examples for homework, but I do not feel quite capable of writing music down myself without mistakes, hence my question. So you may say: I am the kind of teachter who is two lessons ahead of the student; the student knows this. I have asked help from a professional blind musician when the student is abovbe basic level.

However, there are other programs which can - some may not be free. I am not recommending any particular package because I have not personally used them. One possibility is the GoodFeel suite of software from Dancing Dots. Another might be the Braille Music Editor program. -- There is a caveat you should be aware of when putting a MIDI file on paper: MIDI is a performance of a musical piece, score music gives you a bit more information about the performance. So, things like slurs, staccato marks, accents, expressions and so on, may not come out if you just put the MIDI on paper. Oh yes, and watch out for ornaments such as trills and turns, the MIDI file contains all the notes played, rather than showing a trill. I hope this helps. With best regards, James. ----Original Message---- From: [email protected] Date: 30/08/2016 17:51 To: "QWS list"<[email protected]> Subj: QWS List Maybe strange question Hi, Is it possible in QWS, or in any other accessible midi player, to turn a midi file into music notation that one could read on, say, a braille display or print out in braille on paper?
