<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for the vote of confidence, Wink, but from the Central Access team, at Central Washington University, we do not convert music. This may be an area we explore in the future but for now I think Wendy and her consultants send out
music requests to Patrick at Braille Music and More and I don’t know what he has to offer in the way of xml file creation.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">My reference to both Brian and Wendy’s team was meant to question them on the process and software they use for this music conversion. My experience is with Coda Finale and Sibelius software then through Dancing Dots if the output is meant
to go into Braille. Both Coda and Sibelius can import & convert PDF scored music; with a synthesizer can convert from an audio recorded score; both can excerpt specific orchestration parts from whole scores; both work with Dancing Dots. I was OK enough at
reading parts scores for voice (i.e. choral pieces) to be able to proofread and edit, but certainly not good enough to read other instrumentation or clefs! We hired a music student or one of the college music professors to do the proofreading and making edits.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m just starting to research this for a current student. I’m wondering if anyone has converted PDF sheet music to music xml, and what your process is. I’m finding some super-easy
ways (like using adobe and export to xml) that seem suspicious because of their ease, but other more complicated ways that involve pricey software.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Anyone done any music xml creation, and if so, what are you using and are there written instructions? I do not read music, or xml, as the case may be, so I don’t know if what I’m
converting through my experiments is any good. Help please?<u></u><u></u></p>
