Keyboard Entry

Braille Music Notator features different keyboard input maps for different purposes. A description of each keyboard input map is included below in three formats: a text file suitable for screen readers, a BRF file suitable for embossing, and a Braille Music Notator file which can be edited if desired.

To change keyboard input layouts, select "Controls" in the Options tab, or use the Control-Backtick keyboard shortcut.

Full Layout

The "Full" controls layout is not designed to work with the keyboard, though the last screen of the layout will produce literary characters when corresponding keys are pressed.
