Also, if you obtain a braille score from a library, use it as an example,
observing where the various items are placed.

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.
