Hi, Betsy.
I just went to NBA's website and searched for the handbook. I copied the
title from your message in to the search field and chose Educational
Material as the category, but no matches were found. Did I miss something?
Thanks,
Dani

Dani,
There is a whole chapter devoted to brailling percussion in the Handbook for
Braille Music from NBA.
I will quote a bit of it here, but highly recommend you look into getting
this book. It has been very helpful for me in formatting music for analysis.
...percussion parts are usually printed in a score arrangement on one staff
or a system of staves or lines, and multiple copies of the score are given
to all of the players.
To transcribe such a score into braille, use a full open-score presentation
with a separate braille line for each instrument, even if several have been
printed on one staff. Align the measures vertically in a simplified
bar-over-bar format. Preserve the vertical arrangement of the print, with
the lowest note on the staff being brailled on the lowest line of the
parallel. Leave a blank line between parallels; two blank lines are not
necessary, as they would be in a typical ensemble score...
Hope this helps.

Hi, Everyone.
Are percussion parts brailled separately i.e., each drum having its
own line in the piece, or together like chords? I've looked at the Braille
Music Code 1997 and the DeGarmo book and haven't found anything to clarify
this. I've also looked for drum books on the BARD site and haven't found
very many to look at and cull for examples for how to format percussion
music. Would appreciate any input.
Thanks,
Dani
