2022/01/31: New, Improved and Fixed¶
Final update as part of the funded development in the DAISY Music Braille Project.
New:- A list of instruments and their abbreviations is displayed at the beginning of the notes for Bar over Bar, System by System and Page by Page formatted scores.
- Conversion from Hebrew text to Braille.
- According to country requirements: for Spain and English-speaking countries, the note prefix 6,3 is replaced by clefs, with some exceptions in vocal scores.
- MusicXML recognition of voices.
2022/01/28: New, Improved and Fixed¶
New:- French translation added for MakeBraille server page. User manual in French will follow later.
- User manual in Spanish will be created soon.
- Multiple files are returned when rendered as "Multiple Outputs". The file names each now contain an abbreviation in square brackets to distinguish them. If multiple files have been zip or converted, or if a source contains multiple pieces, sets, etc., these individual parts are grouped accordingly. So, for example, all horn parts are returned in one horn file, all trombone parts in one trombone file, etc.
- "Multiple outputs" now better supports capx sources.
- Error workflow and reporting to developers and users.
- Handling of clefs and keys to allow country specific prefixes, clefs and keys. Clefs are now displayed (or not) according to country preferences and follow the reading order of the country (except for orchestral scores, which are always displayed from top to bottom). Instances of percussion or scores starting with the dot 6,3 are displayed with clefs instead of these prefixes. Only Spain wants clefs to be displayed for all scores. The handling of the key follows the German rules, which say that the key is only displayed at the beginning and only again when it changes. In general, there are now simple ways to fine-granularly control the display of keys and clefs by country and context. So if there are any errors here, they are easily fixed after feedback.
- Logout error.
- Handling of multiple MusicXML files.
- The first line in the returned file is now correctly indented (previously left-aligned).
2022/01/17: New, Improved and fixed¶
New:- Updated Capella optimizer: Rhythmic errors in Capella files are now even easier to find, as a system number is displayed in pink at the beginning of the system (in addition to the red marking of the error itself). Download the new optimizer at: https://dzblesen.uber.space/projects/hodder/wiki/Capella_Optimizers
- Special case for vocals with instrumental accompaniment: If "Bar over Bar" and "Mixed Output Presentation" are selected, a full score will be output as "Bar over Bar", the instrumental accompaniment as "Bar over Bar", but the vocal part as "Section by Section" without section markers. The sections are based on the song text (complete sentences). The behaviour currently works for UK only. If other countries would also like this behaviour, please let us know.
- MusicXML import.
- Mixed output has been enhanced to allow more types of scores, e.g. for multiple vocal parts with orchestral parts you get all individual voice files, a vocal score file and a full score file. If you have a collection of scores in a zip file, or different sets in a score, you will get separate files for each vocal voice/instrument as a collection of scores/sets, in addition to the full scores (i.e., a soprano file with all scores/sets; an alto file with all scores/sets; and a file with the full scores).
- SMuL characters.
- Bug in the handling of user profiles.

- Section by Section options now allow you to set the size of sections as musically as possible - as standard (typically 6-8 measures per section of instrumental parts) - or as short sections (typically 3-4 measures per section of instrumental parts) which may suit learners who need shorter sections while learning and memorizing music.
- Position of bar numbers: for vocal score with piano accompaniment for Spain and Germany, bar numbers are presented above the notes, but to the left for other countries.
- Recognition of combined instrument names when written with ampersand sign, vertical bar or slash. For orchestral scores they are no longer separated into two systems.
- MusicXML voice recognition.
- A summary of instrument names is now presented at the top of the score if they can be uniquely determined by prefixes or clefs (in Bar over Bar).

- PEF creation from zip files.
- capella optimizer support for: publisher ties; and identification of rhythmic mistakes in capella files, advising user of potential rhythmical errors they should fix before conversion.
- The "Create Braille" button shows the selected output format (both on the main page and on the "Select Parts" page), e.g. the button is now displayed as "Create Braille - BRF".
- Improved detection of user's browser language settings to set the default language.
- Bar over Bar line breaks when a single bar runs over were flush left, and are now correctly indented.
- Missing invisible rests to indicate beginning and ending of wedges which do not fall on a note.
