An invaluable reference for braille music readers, teachers and transcribers, this comprehensive manual is illustrated with over 250 examples of print music notation and their corresponding braille music notation. Tables of signs summarize the braille signs used in various musical situations, while detailed indexes make it easy to look up entries alphabetically or by braille sign. A PC user can now access the complete text of a book on CD-ROM, view all the examples in music and braille notation, and listen to audio playback of the music. Detailed listings have been added to explain the meaning of every braille sign used in each example. Clicking a music notation symbol displays its corresponding braille sign, and clicking a braille sign displays what it means.
Hyperlinks make it easy to navigate through the text.
The reader can access index entries alphabetically or by braille sign, search the entire manual for specific words or braille signs, and print or emboss any topic.
