	Braille music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Braille music is a Braille code that allows music to be notated using Braille cells so that music can be read by visually impaired musicians.
		The Braille Music KIT works in both directions: musicians can create a braille music score that can then be converted to print music, or a sighted musician can use Finale to create a print score which is then be converted to braille music.
		Musical indications like "dim", "cresc", or "rit" are inserted inline with the note and rhythm notation and, to differentiate them from note, octave, and other musical signs, are always preceded by the "word sign" (dots 3,4,5).
