Dear Michele, It might be possible to incorporate the braille music code so the speech would recognize it, but you would still need to backtranslate the music into print and that's where the challenge is. I don't know any software program which will translate braille music into print.
I'm not familiar with the program you mentioned in your post. Another problem is very few blind people can read and write braille music so I'm not sure it would be feasible to incorporate it into the BN. Terri, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
