Someone already referred you to Dancing Dots. Here are a couple of other
options:

I have seen a demo of the Braille Music Kit (second link). It's nice in that
it is a plug-in for Finale, which is a mainstream music program.

 

Below is a link for a listserve for Braille Music:

It has some nice FAQs that will give you more information.

 

You can always check the APH database of transcribers, but here is a
possible one:

Hi all!

 

We have a very talented music student (piano in particular)  coming to IU in
the fall.  He will need his music Brailled. Does anyone have experience with
this?  What programs do you use?  How do you do it? Proofreading?  All help
is greatly appreciated. Thankx.
