[Menvi-discuss] a couple questions

Hi Reahna,

 

I can answer your MuseScore questions:

To delete a bar use Ctrl + Del

There is also a command to remove all extra blank bars at the end.  I think it is in the edit menu.

 

To swap voices on the same staff use

Ctrl Alt 1 for voice 1

Ctrl Alt 2 for voice 2, etc

 

You might also want to join the MuseScore Accessibility group.

Subject: [Menvi-discuss] a couple questions

 

Hello

My name is Reahna Robinson. I posted in this group a few years ago when I was in high school. I am now a middle school choir teacher. I had a few questions I have been thinking of asking the group.

1) Does anyone know if there are any 3d, tactile models of musical symbols such as the staff, music notes, clefs etc I could purchase? Links would be best. I do know of someone who does 3D printing, and I will be contacting them.

I have a tactile staff on my board, but I would like something I can carry around to show to individual students. I have magnetic music notes, but they are too large to fit on the staff on my whiteboard. I remember my music teacher having plastic notes she passed around, but I am not sure where she purchased them.

2) Does anyone know how to delete measures in MuseScore for Windows using NVDA? I am in the process of creating 8 measure sight singing exercises for my students. However, sometimes there are extra measures left over, and I would like to delete them.

3) For creating two-part SA music in MuseScore, how can I write it on the same staff? I have found templates for SATB music with treble and bass clef, but I have not been successful finding a template for SA or SSA exercises.

4) Does anyone have a list of potential funding sources for braille music?

As of right now, the Division of Blind Services in Florida is paying for the braille music I need for teaching. However, I am not sure how long this support will continue, and for anyone who knows anything about vocational rehabilitation services, you know obtaining services is not always an easy process. My district is supportive and accommodating, but I do not want this to be a barrier for me since I am still new to the district. I am uncertain of how the budgeting would work if I went through the district. If you have had experience with receiving for braille music funding from a school district, please chime in on the discussion.

Thank you for reading. I am looking forward to learning from you.

Sincerely,

Reahna Robinson and Realm
