Keeping the chords with the words makes it easier to follow on
the display--if they were separate I would have to skip all
around or switch files. This way I can pause the song, scan ahead
a bit, and repeat. The words tell me exactly where I should be.
Have a great day,
Alex

Hi Alex;
I usually learn a song from hearing it on the radio many times or
at
church... I usually learn to play a song after I have learned
the
songs.
Take Silent Night; I think it is G C and D.
I never thought of putting the words together. I think I would
put the
words separate from the chords, but in the same file.

I have not been following this thread, but the best way for me to
follow a song is to have the chords in brackets inserted in the
lyrics at the point at which you are supposed to switch. That way
I can follow the words and know exactly when to switch because
the chord is right there before or even in the word. Speech is
bad for this; if you have Braille, use it. Otherwise you will
probably end up going word by word/character by character through
the whole thing.
Have a great day,
Alex

Terri;
What do you think about my idea about using the bn for guitar
chords?
Ex. G Am G C G
Usually if you have a good ear for music, you can tell when to
change.
I just have the different chords, not how long to play each
chord.

Dear Terry,
No, a person cannot translate braille music into print using a
PC. No
software will do this. Dancing Dots can translate print music
into
braille,
but the manufacturers admit the transcription isn't 100% correct.
Braille music is a complex code and there is more to it than just
single
letters and numbers. Some signs have two cells in them and
keyboard
music
is the most difficult to read and write. There are very few
braille
music
transcribers. I had a music theory book which was transcribed
completely
wrong and it drove me nuts.
There are some music scores in Web Braille and you can read them
with
the
BN.

Terri;
Transcribing music from Braille to print, can't this be done on
a
regular computer?
If so, what are people complaining about. If it is composed on
a
computer, why can't they read it on a Braille display, with the
voice
off. It would just have to be in grade 2. All music symbols
are
equal
to letters of the alphabet or single cell contractions.

Like I said many times before, there is no software which
supports
braille
to print music translation. Don't expect Humanware to take the
time
to
invent software like this. They're going to work on software
programs
that
will help the majority of the blind and braille music readers
are in
the
minority.
Let's stop this useless topic and move on to something more
productive.

Dear Joseph and list. I take Joseph's point about sacrificing
memory
if
the music composer is implemented at this point but definitely
believe
the Braille Music code should be implemented so it can be
recognized
in
print.
I was also wondering if music composing software could be
devised
along
the lines of, say, Sibelius, but done on a memory card like the
multi-lingual or dictionary software, which would take up less
room
on
the hard drive. I don't know if this is possible, or whether
we'd
still
run into the same problem of sacrificed performance which Joseph
has
already mentioned, but if not, it would be worth thinking about.
Cheers!
Michele

Hi there,
You just write Braille Music using the Braille Music code on
your
document. When you are done, just emboss it, as print does not
recognize
musical scores. I do not use Braille Music (at least when I'm
composing
or rearranging a song). I usualy sompose by listening/by ear, so
it
is
a
bit faster for me. And having a bit of advantage in music helps
me
compose a bit faster. Cheers, Joseph

Hi Joseph,
Would you describe the process of writing Braille Music
although I
have severl versions contributed to the List, which I thank
everyone
for, I would appreciate your procedure also. I have a Classic
with
the
6.11 upgrade build 26.
Thank you in advance.

Martin,
BrailleNote is not a sound processor. USB Audio Devices like
MIDI
devices are not supported (there is no driver for it in KeySoft).
You
can write Braille Music with your BrailleNote, but you cannot
actually
process digital to analog and analog to digital converting in
BrailleNote.
Cheers,
Joseph

Hi there,
I think the subject line says it all. Some
of you may remember the Eureka?
You know, the NoteTaker with the Nice
sounding Australian woman with a lisp?
I loved that thing. I had a chance to test
drive one once and had a great
old time composing music on it. It had a
wapping 3 voice processor. Well it
was wapping back then. I'm just wondering if
the BrailleNotes could be
engineered to do that sort of thing. If not,
then maybe they could be
coupled with a USB MIDI controller. You
could then compose the music and
have the BrailleNote spew it to a MIDI
Keyboard.
Just throwing out ideas. I just figure that
there are so many of us who are
musician, it's nice to have a NoteTaker which
can help you in htat sort of
thing as well.
Cheers,
Martin
