<p class="MsoNormal">We currently have a student who is blind attending the JHU Peabody (4-year program). My graduate students used to prepare music using Dancing Dots, but more recently, they have shifted to using Sibelius with the help of Photoscore. Overall,
we have always saved them as musicXML formats.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For music texts or article readings that include a mixture of text and images of music score portions, we will prepare the music portions as musicXML and include alternate text for the images, referencing the file name of the musicXML—this
way, the student can cross-reference and listen to the music score portions.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I consulted with another institution a few years ago (2022) about a visually impaired student who was music major. The student was familiar with Sibelius but the instructor used Finale. I remember working with instructor to see of Finale
files could be exported / imported into Sibelius and vice versa. The instructor used Finale to make music examples that were incorporated into PDFs – they are combined with instructions, so it was not simply a music page. One of the workaround was to export
the music xml so student could read using screenreader in Sibelius and student could also compose and export the music xml for instructor to view in Finale.<o:p></o:p></p>
