Hi!

I don't know, if I've asked It, but I would like to compose music, also
enter It to the notes. What is good software for the blind, used with
NVDA for this purpose?

Thank You.

Marco

I have a sort-of similar question. I used to play piano in my sighted days but mever memorised any of the music, prefering to read the score as I played. Now I can't read a score I can't remember much of those pieces.

I have PDF scores of a lot of piano music and wonder if there is any way that something like Muse Score could open a PDF and I could somehow figure out what notes are where? I'm thinking of chords with three or more notes across both hands, my ear being unable to figure them out by listening to a recording.

I'd love a means of converting a PDF or a midi file into a text from which I can determine the notes ... the durations are less important for me since I can remember how the pieces sound.

It's funny, I just asked a sighted friend for help with three notes in Chopin's first ballade which I was struggling to remember just this morning!

Thanks for any ideas (and no, I never learned to read Braille music)

Good morning.

I can offer you various pieces in braille format that are ready to be
embossed, but that's the problem, because you prefer those midi files,
right?

There is a software called Braille music editor which might help you
with what you're needing.

Cheers.

Even once your 60 days are up you can still use it. It just gives you
the notification about purchasing after that.

I haven't any MIDI device connected to My PC.

Can I use QWS also?

Hi,

Dancing Dots has afaIk. OCR for scores, too:
http://www.dancingdots.com/main/index.htm
I suppose the software to scan scores also is able to scan PDF.

Yours sincerely

I missed the beginning of this, but if you're looking for stuff that does notation, MuseScore can at least read it, rather you can read it with it, and some work was done on making adding notation accessible, but I haven't messed with any of it. Here's the main MuseScore page.

https://musescore.org/en

Here's the accessibility stuff for writing notation.

It does have a virtual keyboard, though it's pretty hard to use that
w/any degree of precision.

OK.
I'll return back to this discussion.
QWS is very good, I have a little Midi keyboard, because I would like to compose music outside My home.
But, another question is for You and It is related to this thing, what is difference between Audio and Midi and where to use first and second and what are Your best recommendations?
Because I would like to write article about It.

Midi is simply 0's and 1,s tt is on and off with other instructions for
a computer to ender. Audio is the wave form that you can see on a
consoul or an editor, that you cannot edit and speed up and slow down as
it is not a coputer language, but bits and bytes on a cd or in an mp3.
I guess look it up in wikipedia if you want. A beter explenation.
