Hi,
Do you guys know of apps like Sheat Music Scanner, that could allow a blind person to either listen to the music notation from like a pdf, or read it accessibly?
I know of Sheat Music Scanner, but the subscription for that is quite expensiveexpensive IMO for what I wanna do.

I've heard that MuseScore is accessible on Windows. Not sure about the Mac and Linux versions.

I'm curious to hear what others recommend as well.

Hi,
Last week, during our church choir rehearsal, my sighted friend had all her music loaded into an app on her iPad.
I’m in the process of learning Braille music & want to be able to practice with the scores for our music.
However, I’m having a hard time locating them.
Does anyone know where I might find Braille music scores? The NLS music section didn’t have a score I asked about recently.
I use my BrailleSense during our rehearsals & Sunday worship services & would like an app that could display this content.
Any & all suggestions regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated.

But not on iOS, obviously, which is what this question is about.

There's an app called Symphony I think, it's in the apps listings here, that's supposedly accessible. I haven't used it yet though, so I'm just going off of comments here.
