Albet,
Thanks for trying. I don't need to know what the symbols look like.
I need to know the rules for their placement in specific situations. I'll
need an accessible book and there are none so far.

Hi,
On the Dancing Dots resources page look for
- Print Music Symbols and Tactile Graphics: This might just be symbols as
opposed to the rules that you are looking for.
- Norton Grove Encyclopedia of Music: This might list more rules but it
probably isn't organized in a way that would help you find rules.
Here are some other links that might help. I'm not really sure how
accessible they are and they were written for sighted people.

As far as your burning question is concerned I'll try to answer it:
Generally if the dynamic applies to both hands it should be between the
staves and, as for your example, if the dynamic should pertain to the top
staff notes when they eventually start then you should put that dynamic
between the staves where the dynamic first applies (just once). I guess it
wouldn't hurt to write it more than once just to be clear except if it is a
cresc. or decrescendo since their start time and volume could be confused if
the indication is postponed. By the way, I, along with Bettye Krolick,
disagree with the braille rule about not indicating dynamics with rests
because of this situation.

Guys,
Are there any books on the specifics of print music notation that are in
accessible format? I never bothered to learn Music Braille. I don't really
have any desire to. I just wish there was an accessible book on print
notation that would answer just burning questions as: 1. If you have a
dynamic mark in the left hand but no music in the right hand, do you put
that dynamic between the staves of a piano grand staff, or below the left
hand? Any help would be appreciated.
Kevin
