Steps to reproduce

The musical score was written and transcribed using the Musibraille software (version 1.11). Using the software's export function, files for the conventional score (print notation) and versions for Braille printing were generated, along with files in MIDI and Braille Music File (BMF) formats. The physical printing of the material was carried out on a DeltaVP Braille printer, using a file specifically formatted for the device (Tiger format).
