New comment from Hu Haipeng:

The best way for you all is, to make a MusicXml backend. This feature has the following three advantages, two of which can't be approached by making a much terrible and hopeless (complicated, because the ones who know braille don't know programming, while the ones who program don't know braille!) braille backend:
  1. Musicxml can be accepted by most [free and non-free] notation programs.
2. LilyPond just focuses on music typesetting, its midi output is really not ideal. Every time I give my music to a composer, he/she will complain about the bad balance, suspecting my orchestration technique. Using Sibelius or Finale's VST plugin can get good sound output, including legato, staccato, glissando and smooth dynamic changes. It is a very important thing for the composer to hear what he/she have written. The
more it's real, the better scoring result he/she can approach.
3. It's a good thing to view our own compositions with braille. Ly2brl is extremely
difficult, and we have to begin from 0. Why don't we borrow other's fruits?

I use the BrailleMuse web-application, that is the most powerful musicxml2braille program now. I have helped this Japanese project to improve their program for nearly a year, and now, most of the musicxml files less than 20M can be processed. The only limitation is no lyrics (english version, but the Japanese one can only output Japanese texts), and the output is Ascii, which I like very much. You can adjust several formattings to fit your paper, change many settings to fit your preference.
