Braille score typologies Ensemble texture = “open score” Keyboard texture = “bar over bar” CS 275A/Music 2532016 Eleanor Selfridge-Field11
12
Braille music codes (in general) CS 275A/Music 2532016 Eleanor Selfridge-Field12 Braille MN developed in c. 1850 Six-dot cell Many symbols redefined by context Has national dialects Has international governing body Dependent on impact printing ● Data dots Switches
13
Braille MN: score types Bar-over-bar: piano music Open-score: intended for sight-singing Short-score: choral analogue of bar-over-bar Section-by-section: piano music or score Single-line: single instrumental part CS 275A/Music 2532016 Eleanor Selfridge-Field13

Braille: Mozart trio encoding (clarinet only) CS 275A/Music 2532016 Eleanor Selfridge-Field14 Setup data Bars 0, 1

Musical structure: notation-sound conflicts Score structure Da capos 1 st, 2 nd endings Upbeat complements Sound file-structure Recap point? Repeats happen or not* 2 nd endings with transitions may not compute** * affects total number of bars ** where 1 st time has upbeat, repeat point has downbeat CS 275A/Music 2532016 Eleanor Selfridge-Field 20 Notation>sound translation Sound specs precise, Graphics specs free to modify
