We have an extended-family member who is blind from an early age due to
an inherited retina disorder. I've seen some of what she can do with
braille embossers, braille terminals and such, and I can see LilyPond's
text-based input design being an advantage for use with those tools.
Now, I am curious about the sheet music format you use for working with
LilyPond's OUTPUT. Is it something based on printed pages, as LilyPond
is most commonly used? Or something texture-based like Music Braille?
I didn't know Music Braille existed until just now...

...but apparently it originated in 1837 with Monsieur Louis himself.
