Hi Victoria, I believe Bill McCann of Dancing Dots is on the list, and hopefully has a more in depth knowledge about your question. I draw it to Bell's attention anyway.

Has anyone ever successfully manipulated the e-file of an open score ensemble piece, such as a SATB chorus with piano accompaniment, into standard format for each of the four voices + separate accompaniment? Or, vice versa? Or, is it more likely that one would need to produce separate transcriptions? i.e., one ensemble transcription, one transcription for each of the 4 voices, and a bar-over-bar transcription of the accompaniment. I'll ask this question of music braillists attending the NBA conference next week but will be interested in hearing from anyone out there who has any experience in this type of thing. Thanx!
