Hi.

FreeDots is an open source project for braille music transcription.
It is based on MusicXML and offers the ability to interactively
work with a score (read, playback) directly on your PC.

The official project homepage is now hosted at googlecode:
http://code.google.com/p/freedots/

Since cross-platform compatibility turned out to be a requirement
for this project, its original prototype in Python is now being
rewritten in Java.  The rewrite already surpasses the original prototype
in functionality.

For those of you that are interested in helping this project to
progress, there is now also a dedicated mailing list for FreeDots:
https://mlist.tugraz.at/mailman/listinfo/freedots

While there is currently no public release of the java-based rewrite
available, plans are to distribute a public alpha version in the
near future.  The system builds fine on Linux with OpenJDK and a few
external jar files easily installable.
