HI Bruno. First of all, sorry that my answer took me so long, but I was away for a month of vacation on Jamaica.

Thats a very good idea. I didn't know about nat. A quick look at your sources has two discouraging points for me personally though: I dislike Java, and your usage of french words in programming code makes it hard for me to understand, since I dont speak french. FreeDots is written in pure Python. It can already transcribe MusicXML to braille music (many things are missing, but its already very useful to myself), has a GUI for navigating the resulting Braille on Linux, and even includes useful things like playback of the whole file, or individual braille music symbols via the editing window. A recent rewrite of the musicxml backend module now allows me to even do edits of musicxml files and save them back out to disk, which will be useful when fixing errors in MusicXML comming from optical music recognition programs. > Are you using the same kind of technologies? Yes, MusicXML and braille music. But I wont touch Java with a ten food pole :-) I am very happy to cooperate, especially since the topic of transcribing braille music is pretty complicated and maybe too much for a single person to handle fully in a reasonable time-frame. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ | Debian Developer <URL:http://debian.org/> .''`. | Get my public key via finger mlang/[EMAIL PROTECTED] : :' : | 1024D/7FC1A0854909BCCDBE6C102DDFFC022A6B113E44 `. `' `- <URL:http://delysid.org/> <URL:http://www.staff.tugraz.at/mlang/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
