I'm not sure if you missed my previous message - you might want to hunt back a couple of hours ago for it. But in short, yes, it's free, and it works with all popular screen readers on all major operating systems - NVDA, JAWS, or Narrator on Windows; VoiceOver on macOS; Orca on Linux. It's meant for creating music in standard notation - for sighted musicians to read. But it can export MusicXMNL for use with converters like BrailleMUSE, and it even has a limited built-in Braille export.<o:p></o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>When it comes to creating standard notation, it s actually on of the best programs there is for this, despite being free.
