Given that we thought that all sheet music was set in digital files, then it ought to be easy to develop a system. The system also coped with automatic payments and accounting. Given that the four participating libraries had got so far it seemed that the incentive of a part funded project would pull the whole thing together. The basic idea is simple. Blind musicians around the world need Braille music.
Music is sufficiently international to cross borders.
Braille music is very expensive to produce, therefore anything that will reduce the amount of duplication is to be desired. It makes sense then to set up a system in which all music braille libraries can know what the other libraries have in stock and are producing. They should then be able to get the braille from each other at rates that are substantially less than producing the piece all over again. Where pieces are held as digital files it should be possible to send these to each other over the Internet. Two associate partners joined these partners, the Danish Library for the Blind and Stamperia Braille of Florence.
