The Musescore Editor is an easy-to-use application that helps musicians to learn, create, and edit musical notation. The Editor is an open source desktop software application which supports more than 50 languages and is available for PC, Mac and Linux. If you use Braille music, or if you enjoy composing music, then you'll want to learn about some of the recent enhancements in the Musescore application which allow accessing and composing music while using a refreshable Braille display, and using six-key entry to input musical notes using the Braille music code. We're delighted to be joined for this session by Peter Jonas, who is a developer at Musescore, and who has been instrumental in driving the accessibility of this application. This is a session not to be missed and we know it will be popular.
