Hi,

First, I think Winy meant to say that the braille music arpeggio sign uses dots 
3-4-5, followed by dots 1-3.

Second, you can definitely use the annotations.lim file to copy a variety of 
symbols into your own Lime file.  We definitely have some improvements to make 
on how these special symbols get read to you by JAWS though.  For example, the 
arpeggio symbol is read as S.  That is, JAWS reads it as though it were reading 
the letter S to you.

In any case, everyone who has installed the GOODFEEL(r) Braille Music 
Translator has a copy of the annotations.lim file installed.  You will find it 
in a folder called DDResources inside the Music folder inside your Shared or 
Public Documents folder.  The read.me file included says:


*Annotations.lim: This file contains frequently used annotations. Open 
Annotations.lim and copy annotations that you need and then paste them into 
your Lime document. 
*AltMap.htm: A reference for easily getting characters with accents. 
*gfproc.htm: A guide for creating braille music using SharpEye, Lime and 
GOODFEEL.   

To copy the arpeggio symbol associated with the first note of the 
annotations.lim piece:

Open annotations.lim

Hold down the ALT key while you press LEFT ARROW.

When you hear JAWS say S, you have selected the arpeggio annotation.

Press CONTROL+C to copy to the Windows clipboard.

To use in your own Lime file:

Press CONTROL+O and browse to the file you want to open.

When Lime asks if you want to close annotations.lim file, say "No."

Move to the note of the chord where you want the arpeggio symbol to appear.  
Remember, Lime Aloud users, that Lime does not always present the notes of an 
interval or chord sorted from top to bottom or bottom to top.  Use left and 
right arrow keys to find the topmost or bottommost note. 

Press CONTROL+V to paste the annotation onto the highlighted note.

The symbol should appear on the screen and, if you have a braille display 
attached, it will also appear there.

As far as the placement in the print score, Andy's suggestion seems good to me 
but perhaps Albert will comment.  

Regards,
Bill

Winy,
This Lime file, generated by Bill and Albert at Dancing Dots, contains the most 
commonly used annotations you'll need for arpeggios, mordents, and many other 
signs. The very first note in this "piece" has the annotation for glissando 
attached to it. Just select the note, select the annotation, copy and then 
paste it into the other piece to the chord you want arpeggiated.
My sensibilities tell me to attach it to the top note in a right-hand staff and 
the bottom note in a left-hand staff, but that might not be necessary.
I would love for Bill or Albert to clarify this.
I hope this works okay for you.
Sincerely,

Hi all
Would you tell me how to write arpiggated notes with Lime? In braille music, it 
uses sign dots 46 345 followed by the notes. How should I write this with Lime? 
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot. :) Winy.
