Hello:
I have used the opticon to read music but it was usually music that I had
written myself with music notation software so I just wanted to be able to
proofread it to be sure that the notation was what I intended it to be. I
think using it to actually read and learn music would be quite tedious since
notation by nature is very subjective in its appearance, even though most of
it is done with computer software these days.

Naturally a person has to know something about print music before they can
begin reading it. Also, if the music you are looking at contains choir
parts, you need to know how they are represented--separate staffs for each
part or some other layout on the same staff. No, you can't exactly play
and read at the same time, but you can braille a line of music and at
least get some idea of the melody you want. No other device that I know of
will allow you to do that.
