It will handle Braille music in terms of the Braille output of it however the
speech will make absolutely no sense.
If there is not much difference between the pac mate and the Braille note, I
would strongly encourage the Pac Mate. It is more mature, has the option of
installing third party applications and the QX version uses the majority of the
key strokes Jaws does. With the QX, although it is a qwerty keyboard, i.e, not
a Braille keyboard, still allows you to input using Braille keys therefore in
theery would allow you to input music notation using Braille notation.
From looking at the BN, I haven't found any advantages aside from it's slightly
smaller size when compared to the PM.

Thanks Ciaran and Flor,
Thanks for the link Ciaran. will research over the weekend as I am using dial
up connection here.
Flor what would I like to know?
I am not sure really. I am thrashing ideas out. there are bits in my course
that require each student to write things down. due to issues because my course
is only certificate this year, HEA won't fund so and the quickest way around
this for me, is if I purchase some technology myself .
So once the device can handle Braille music which I'd imagine it can as it is a
Braille display then I would be fine.
Best,
Sab
