Hi Sarah I doubt that the changes would do much for Braille music, in all honesty. I think you’re safe on that one at least for a few years. Braille music is a very logical system actually and if you use the same standards as we do, it really shouldn’t be too difficult for any competent Brailleist to learn it as it stands. The Braille music format has worked really well for a very long time. So I would advocate “Leave Things Alone”. There again, I don’t really see any advantage to UEB itself, and I think it’s only been done by tinkerers who just love to tinker for the sake of tinkering and making the lives of others difficult. The current systems have worked side-by-side for a great many years, so why change that? I say leave things alone.

I know music braille fairly well as well. ======================================= The Techno-Chat E-Mail forum is guaranteed malware, spyware, Trojan, virus and worm-free To modify your subscription options, please visit for forum's dedicated web pages located at http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/techno-chat You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Techno-Chat group at either of the following websites: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/techno-chat/index.html Or: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]> you may also subscribe to this list via RSS.
