As a braille music reader myself I can say this without any compunction. There 
is almost no way that I am aware of to transcribe musical notation into RTF 
format. It could work as a BRF file or as a GF file but not as an RTF. I don't 
think it will happen because bring out music notation in electronic format 
doesn't generally work without the correct software. If somebody finds a way to 
do it more power to them but I quite honestly would just transcribe the words 
and let people go and find the actual songs for themselves. It should be simple 
enough seeing as these are classics.
