Dear Blake,
I think the list members would like to know the answers to your questions,
so I'm sending this message to the whole list.
Grade 3 braille is a braille code designed for use in speed writing for
academic purposes. It's based on grade 2, but it has more contractions,
different spacing rules, more short-form words and rules for customizing
your own abbreviations and "outlined words." Its purpose was to help people
who write braille by hand to take speedy notes. The code isn't designed for
court reporting or stenographers who take verbatim notes by hand. It has
not been adopted as a standard braille code in any country.
Dancing Dots is a company which sells a braille music translator called
Goodfeel. As far as I know, this translator can create braille music from
print music, but you cannot create print music from braille files. The
software cannot be used with the BN. That's why HumanWare would have to
work with Dancing Dots to make the Goodfeel translator work with the BN.
Since only a minority of blind people know how to read braille music, I
doubt implementation of the braille music code would be a top priority for
HumanWare.
If you want to know more about Dancing Dots, do a Google search for dancing
dots.
