You don't set out a braille music score like you do in staff notation.
The easiest way to proceed is to give a separate line to your title,
your composer, etc. Then you may put the tempo marking, the metronome
marking on the same braille line. The key-signature and time-signature
go on the next line, next to each other without spaces. The
time-signature is written so that the top figure represents the number
of beats, 2 3 4 6 etc. and you use the lower braille cells to indicate
the value of those beats, i.e. 4 for quarter, 8 for eighth notes, 2 for
halves, [minims], etc.
You put your expression marks, F for forte, p for piano etc, preceeded
by a word-sign, > in braille, which looks like a greater-than sign on
computers. You then add the octave sign, and then the value of the note.
I hope that that is a start, anyway.
