Here are some more questions and answers for Lime users, sighted or blind:
> 1. How do I write separate voices if I want to make a 4 voices tune in
Lime?
Use File | New to start a new file with a "First Part in Piece is a single
Staff". You can name it "Soprano" if you like.
After you press OK for that dialog, press ALT+V, V and tab to the "New Part"
button. You can call that "Alto" and repeat the process to add tenor and
bass.
> 2.If I write a part in Sibelius and want to import it into Lime, which
file type must I choose when I save?
Best way is to obtain the Dolet for Sibelius 3 plug-in from
www.recordare.com so that you can create a MusicXML file. Once you have
exported to MusicXML, run Lime and then ALT+F, I, X to import MusicXML.
Accept all import defaults. Sometimes Lime insists that you enter a value
for number of measures per staff. Ideally, add the same number which
Sibelius used or, if you do not know that value, enter 4 or 6 or any
reasonable value. If your goal is to transcribe the notation into braille,
it makes little difference how the print page is laid out.

Bill
