Hi Jane,

 

Might I suggest you contact Bill McCann of Dancing Dots?
(admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) 

 

Dancing Dots specialise in Braille Music, and I don't know anyone with
more knowledge of the subject than Bill.  They also supply various
publications relating to learning and teaching music.

 

Dancing Dots also produce "GOODFEEL" which is a program for producing
braille music.

 

And of course GOODFEEL's files can be imported into Duxbury to enable
you to produce literary braille with musical content.

 

George.

Anyone have experience with teaching Braille music to a student?  I am
working on whole note recognition and am unsure how to Braille it.  If
a whole note C is the letter just the letter "Y" in Braille (no
capital or letter sign), when asking the question "what is a whole
note C", would the C also be without capital and letter sign, or would
I include them as I would in literary?  I don't want to ask "what is a
whole note C (can)?  I hope you understand my question! Thanks for
your help!

Hi Rick,

 

I must first apologise for taking so long to reply.  No excuses on my
part - I just left it in my Follow Up folder for too long.

 

In my personal view, Flexipaper from Repro-Tronics in New Jersey is
about the best on the market world-wide.

 

It's way more expensive here in the U.K compared to the local Zychem,
but the image produced is far better.  Your PAIF should handle both.

 

However, you do need to appreciate that there is a difference between
images produced by tactile image enhancers (and I include the PIAF
here) and braille embossers.

 

Feel free to contact me to discuss further,

 

All the best,

Subject: [duxuser] Braile Graphics, PIAF Paper

WE will be using the PIAF to copy some graphics to be inserted into
some braille documents. Are there differences in the quality of
capsule paper used by the PIAF and the Tactile Image Enhancer?  

 

Are there sites, besides APH, which have downloadable graphics?  Can
these graphics be printed on braille paper or do you need  capsule
paper?  Is the fre version of QuickTac from Duxbury adequate for
editing these graphics or do you need something more powerful?
