[Menvi-discuss] Braille MuseScore Group

[Marc Sabatella]

OpenScore in general as originally set up was indeed for classical music,
but there is no reason the special braille sub-project would need to be
limited to just classical.  It also wouldn’t necessarily have to be public
domain - it would just need to be music that MuseScore.com has rights to.
They have rights to a *ton* of music already, and more is added
constantly.  The Hal Leonard deal looks to be world-changing as far as that
goes.

.Whether or not we use this group, we certainly have to obey the law, so
that restriction would exist regardless of where the results are hosted.
MuseScore.com has lawyers that are very experienced in negotiating these
sort of license agreements, so if there are particular publishers who works
are not yet approved, definitely contact the publisher and/or the
MuseScore.com team to request they work something out.  It would be *way*
easier than any of us attempting to negotiate with the publishers
directly.  If/when this initiative gets underway, I can also help with
making those sorts of contacts.

I think when you did your search for “braille”, it was probably a general
sheet music search and not a search for groups specifically.  When I do a
group search (on the page v, using the groups search box and not the
general sheet music search box), the group comes up immediately as the only
search result.
