You would be saying things like eighth note a followed by an eighth note c,
both beamed together, then a quarter rest anf... So on.

So NLS and DD can possibly transcribe music. That's really nice to know
thanks!
Well, I have looked at other music theory tests and the first question for
Oberlin's kind of looked the same as the other ones I've looked at. It
starts out with having you identify what notes several bars of music have on
them.
I'm not sure how someone can describe 2 or 3 bars of music, something like
"in the 3rd white line from the top there is a black dot with a line going
up to the top black line and then it has a line that creates a right angel
from it going to the right, then that right line has a vertical line
connecting with that horizontal line which goes down to the 3rd white line
and has a dot." I'm not sure how practical it would be.
I'm looking for transcribers who can do music in my aria, so I hope that
will tern up something.
Does anyone know if DD's "An Introduction To Music for the Blind" has like a
cheetsheet or just a list of cymbals and their definition?
I'm planning on reading through it, but again I had all December allotted
for that :(...
I'm thinking about getting a Braille display for reading my 100s of arias
that I'm planning to get scanned in as soon as DOR is able to get me those 3
programs.
(Carrying around a PDA with a Braille Display is a lot more practical than
Carrying around Braille vocal scores.
So I'm wondering if it is practical to get a Braille display?
Thanks,
