[Menvi-discuss] Braille Cell Numbering

[Teresa Haifley]

Thanks, Rick.  It looks like the NY system was a larger cell of 4 or more
dots across instead of 2 as we have now.  It was interesting reading,
though.  .

Prior to adopting the braille music code in NC in the early 1900's, my
school used a system called the NY point system.  I do not know if the
numbering system was different than braille.  Rick Coates

Hello,
Does anyone know if the dots in the braille cell were ever numbered in a
different order?  They used to be called "points" instead of dots, but were
they number 1 3 5 on the left and 2 4 6 on the right?  It makes a difference
in understanding an old music instruction book I'm studying.
 
Thanks,
Teresa
