?MuseScore + Sao Mai Braille Developer Response to Interactive User Tool, DAISY Music Braille Prioritised RequirementsAuthor(s): Peter Jonas (MuseScore), Dang Hoai Phúc (Sao Mai)Date: 31st August 2020 Sector tool aimed at: Educators + Professional transcription agency + Individual use by a blind musician (i.e. all sectors).Note: This is a join response for MuseScore (MS) and Sao Mai Braille (SMB). It is hoped that the two programs can be used together to create a combined tool that meets all of the requirements. In the vast majority of cases, at least one of the applications already meets the requirement.InstructionsIf you choose to use this response template, please indicate which of these prioritised requirements are: already present in your tool; in scope or out of scope for possible future development in your tool; and your estimate of the size of effort required to make the feature (trivial, small, medium, large). You may comment on resources needed (e.g. time/cost/expertise) to make at least the Essential developments if you wish, perhaps by considering the total number of trivial, small, medium and large jobs.Light grey shading is used in the tables simply to visually illustrate where priorities change (as specified in the first column):1.
