Also, the Braille editor you're referring to on the Mantis should be called KeyBRF (unless it really does go by a different name).

So to eliminate all of the connection issues between the mantis, screen reader and various software can you move the file you have created to the books folder of the Mantis either by connecting it to your PC or via SD card, etc. Once it is in the books folder go to Victor reader from the main menu and then select book list and find the file and open it and see how it looks.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>If this is looking fine here then we can start working on how to get your Mantis connected correctly so that you can use it for music with the PC and edit the music also in the key brf editor.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>If the music doesn’t show correctly at this point can you e-mail either me or Ella the musescore file or a link to download it from <a href="http://musescore.com" target="_blank">musescore.com</a> so we can give it a test? And maybe give us a heads up as to what bars these strange symbols you are seeing are in.
