[Menvi-discuss] New member with a few questions

[Marc Sabatella]

If the goal is to produce braille music, then the Dancing Dots software -
GOODFEEL in particular - is the obvious choice, since that is its primary
function.

If on the other hand the goal is to create print editions - including large
print - then MuseScore is well-suited for that.  It's also useful for
reading the score via a screenreader (it can read the notes and other
markings one at a time as you navigate).  But its braille feature
features - while a nice start - are very limited.

Either way, the question is, how would you plan to get the music into the
software, if all you have to work from is printed or PDF copies.  Scanning
software exists but is not that reliably and generally requires editing.
The free PDF import utility built into MuseScore is not very sophisticated,
but if your budget allows purchase of a third-party PDF import solution,
that might help somewhat.  It's still likely to require a sighted musician
to help get the music in and correct the errors made during the import.
