[Menvi-discuss] German Braille music issue

[Marc Sabatella]

You can download the scores in MusicXML format from musescore.com (create a
free account to enable download), then run them through an automated
converter like the one at
https://www.saomaicenter.org/en/smsoft/sm-music-braille

I just tried with one (opus 1 number 1), and I've attached the result.  I'm
not familiar enough with music Braille to assess the quality of the result
- I just know how to push the buttons :-)

Here are links to sets containing all (?) of her lieder:
