Hi Jared!
I am surprised that the manual has no information written specificly for
blind people. I am pretty sure that we have had other blind users (for
the obvious reasons that you specify). Not able to find it in the
archives though.
If you would help writing a section for blind people I think that we
would all appreciate it.
I could also imagine that lilypond outputs way too much information when
processing files. For seeing people it is easy to quickly sort out the
relevant information, but I could imagine that having to hear the whole
thing via a speak-processor would be rather annoying. Perhaps we should
add a "silent"-option to lilypond making it only output the really
important messages.
I have attached a small example that produces midi output.
I have tried to only use constructs that you will be able to hear in the
midi-file. Also I have not used \transpose or \relative to make the file
as easy as possible to navigate for a blind person.
I think that the manual sections on entering music should be relatively
straight forwards. I hope you can use this small example as a template
to experiment with.
Please ask again if you have any questions.
Regards, Rune
