If you find the music in the format MusicXML, there is a project
called FreeDots, that can convert some MusicXML files to braille. The
code is written mostly by Mario Lang, I think.

Please read the following article to get more information:

The FreeDots program is at: <http://github.com/mlang/freedots>.

Maybe Mario will chime in with more information.
