[Menvi-discuss] Sibelius & PhotoScore for Visually Impaired Student

[David Goldstein - Resource Center]

You're talking about enlargement, not speech access, right?  I think Sibelius and Photoscore would work, especially since Sibelius supports that combination.  It might be a good idea to get the demos to try.  I think they will work for five days.  The concerns I have are, 1( will Sibelius make the music large enough, and 2) does your son need to scroll through the music hands-free?  If so, I don't know how one would connect a foot pedal, as Sibelius has had a history of not supporting this idea.  With the Mac's being able to recognize gestures, it might be possible to have scrolling be activated in some other way, like a hed nod.  The question would be, who would program it to do that.

Oh, also be aware that the scanning will probably need further editing, such as if there is a repeat, those notes will probably need to be written out, as it would be difficult to find the beginning of the repeated measures.

Please do let us know the solution, or partial solution you find, as it could help many others.

David

  Hello.  Does anybody on this list have any experience with the programs Sibelius & PhotoScore Ultimate?    

  We are considering these programs for our son to be used on a MacBook so he can compose, edit, scan and enlarge music.  We have researched many programs and believe these will work the best with the equipment we have to use.  However, we have not heard of anyone using this combination of programs.  

  We would welcome any input you have about these programs.  Thank you very much for your time.
