I'm pleased to say that there have been three other projects, developing music live coding systems for visually impaired users.
One by Clayton Lewis, which was presented as a work-in-progress paper at PPIG 2014
One by an undergraduate design team working for me earlier this year
One by a team of interns working with Cecily Morrison and Nic Villar at Microsoft Research Cambridge, which is currently being written up for publication.
All would be interested to hear about your own project.
I think there is a small literature on programming for blind users, but much of it very old. I'd have to go back to archives of 20 years ago to dig out my references ...
Cheers,
Alan
