Category: other

Tags: braille, midi, music, python, swift

Score: 7.0/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 8, Documentation: 8, Utility: 5)

This project decodes a Braille music score of Gottschalk's Grande Tarantelle into a MIDI performance with expressive interpretation, and renders it to audio using macOS tools. It demonstrates a non-trivial Braille music decoder and a detailed performance model, making a specialized but impressive tool for Braille music transcription and expressive rendering.

Target audience: music technologists, Braille music transcribers, and developers interested in music parsing
