Greg, Welcome to the list and Goodfeel which I'm sure will become an irreplaceable tool in your trade like it has for so many others. I am fortunate to have Duxbury Braille translator here too and find it very helpful to use this as my default Braille editor for Goodfeel which allows me to edit the score, add my own notes and do my own formatting. Of course Goodfeel can format very well according to various national preferences but I find this gives me some more flexibility. As far as learning music goes, I like reading and listening at the same time once I have learnt the piece. If I've learnt it properly, I sing perfectly with the Lime midi player. If I am still slightly hazy, I find I am following a split second after the midi player. All the best on your exciting journey.

I am currently playing in the OSU Marching Band Active Alumni Band and have sighted assistance from a fellow bandsman who is interested in learning how to help me with the Braille translation. I am open to any helpful suggestions. Thank you to all fellow blind musicians and Braille music readers.
