[Menvi-discuss] Marking up the Score?

Tue May 8 00:23:28 EDT 2012

I saw something similar when I was at the CTEBVI conference last November. 
They were using them to read the maps for the Bart train stations in San 
Francisco. They were smaller and they actually wrote. I think students would 
write notes and as they were writing notes they could record their voice or 
they could actually use an SDK to program their own functionality into the 
pens.
I wonder if that would be of any more use... The pens were pretty standard 
and mainstream, but I'm not sure what they were called.
I'm not sure if something can be developed that would be superior to these 
other two methods...
So far, Braille labels, the Pen Friend and the note-taking pen that has an 
SDK and talks are the only 3 ways I have thought of to take notes on a 
score.
Wikki sticks have also been talked about and most people so far just write 
things out on another document. Are there any other ideas?
Thanks,

Brandon Keith Biggs

I'll take a look at the product page you submitted, does sound
interesting, there are other products like it I'm sure.
