Music Braille Code (2015)

35. Solo Songs and Choral Parts

35.6. Texts in Two or More Languages

When a song is printed in two (or more) languages, the parallel is expanded to three (or more) lines. Regardless of the order in print, the text of the original language is given in the line nearest to the music, and the text of other language(s) in the previous line(s). All of the text lines begin at the margin. Care must be taken to assure that the syllabication of the text in each language coincides exactly with the notes of the music line. No run-overs of the text lines are allowed.
