MuseScore would probably not work for Braille music. It sure is good for
putting it on a staff for sighted musicians though.

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.
With kind regards,
Frank

Hi Frank,
No, this is not a strange question:
QWS does not have any facilities to produce score music on paper, either in
print or in braille.
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.

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?
Regards,
Frank
