Michele; Talking about music, you just gave me a neet idea. Since guitar music uses chords, I still could write out any guitar chords on the BN M-power and just use letters and numbers. Most of the chords I memorize anyway, so after reviewing the chords, I would not have to read the Braille. I have a lot in jumbo print, its just finding the time to translate them. If you have a good ear for music, you can usually tell when to change chords, its knowing what to use is the problem. If given a simple song, I can even figure out the chords to it. I have composed one good gospel song and would like to get it put on staff and copy written.

Being able to emboss Braille music is not good enough in my opinion, and is the biggest obstacle to me being able to have a theory text book completely accessible on my BrailleNote. I currently have to copy all the text fields out of the Sibelius version and then add side notes indicating to where examples can be found in the Sibelius file. There are also times when just listening can result in mis-spelling of notes such as B flat or A sharp, unless one's hearing is absolutely spectacular. It's for this reason that I'll continue to advocate for it, because I'm finding the current set-up extremely stressful, when I study better with Braille, rather than speech, although I also compose better by ear. Cheers!

You can write and emboss it, but you cannot print it. (well, I don't use braille music anyway with my BN because I usually use ear-training). Cheers, Joseph PddS. and that's what I meant in my original post. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Michele Thredgold" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: "'Braillenote List'" <[email protected] >Date sent: Sun, 4 Feb 2007 02:28:18 +1030 >Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Music Composer >Dear Joseph.
