Abstract

This article traces and analyzes the historical evolution and information communication issues of Braille music notation, analyzing the development of Braille music notation both domestically and internationally, focusing on the technological evolution from the challenges of traditional Braille music to its digital conversion. By comparing and analyzing the forms of Braille music notation from different periods, this article reveals the technological evolutionary path of the accessible transmission of musical information. The study traces the formation of Chinese Braille Music Notation Standards (e.g., GB/T 16431-2008), analyzes the development of the international Braille music notation, and explores the potential for the evolution of the typesetting concept of "gradual one-to-one correspondence with stave notation." This article not only presents a historical overview of Braille music notation typesetting technology but also offers a forward-looking outlook on future technological development trends, providing historical and technical references for promoting information accessibility in music education for the visually impaired.
