It would be so much more comfortable to learn reading Braille scores; it's
not as hard to learn as many peoples think. I know, what I'm talking about.
I'm musicean. It is worth make a little effort to learn it. You will be so
happy.
My response is of course not what you expected, but I'm more than convinced,
that it is the best answer I can give you.

Objet : scanning and playing of music



Hi all, 

I am looking for some hopefully freeware software that will do the
following. 

be compatible with Jaws 
allow either scanned music scores or keyboard typed music(preferrably
scanned) 
play the music over the soundcard of the computer.  (allowing the selection
of single parts such as soprano or tenor would be very nice. 

I am singing in a choir but I have to learn the music  by ear since I don't
read braille music.  If I didn then I'd have to acquire software to scan and
print the music. 

If I could get this kind of software it would make learning my parts much
easier. 

We have tried having the pianis play my part and recording it via a tape
recorder and via a midi keyboard patched into my computer.  Neither of those
was very useful. 

Now the pianist is having trouble with her hands due to lingering effects
from cancer.  I shrink from asking her to play my part over and over so that
I can learn it.   

Does anyone have any ideas on this? 

Thanks.
