Hi, Aaron,

I am answering your question about entering arpeggios with a copy to our 
GOODFEEL list.

Q. Is there any way that I can independently add an arpeggio symbol to my music 
manually?, or do I need to copy it from annotations.lim.

A. To enter an arpeggio annotation, one may open the annotations.lim file found 
in the DD Resources folder and then copy and paste into your own Lime file.  
There is a shortcut to annotations.lim found on the submenu of the Lime entry 
on the Start Menu.

Here is an alternative approach:

Move to the place in the score where you want the arpeggio to appear.  Your 
chord should already be entered into the score.  That is, you cannot enter the 
arpeggio before you enter the chord it refers to.

Press ALT+A, T, A which are the shortcut keys for
Annotation | Text Category | Ornament

Type a lower-case s into the text edit field that appears.

Press ESCAPE to close edit field.

Press the right arrow once.

Press ALT+LEFT ARROW to select the annotation you have just entered.

Press ALT+A to open the Annotation menu.

Arrow down to Font.

Right arrow into the submenu and press up arrow until you hear "Tufa", then 
press ENTER.  Arpeggios must appear in the Tufa font.

Also, press ALT+A, and arrow down to Size and check that it is 24 point it that 
item's submenu.

ALT+A again and arrow down to Style.  Make sure that "Plain" is checked it that 
item's submenu.

Note: Lime Aloud needs to be corrected because it improperly reads arpeggio 
annotations as "s."  That is, Lime Aloud should say "arpeggio" when it finds 
the small s written in the tufa font but it says s instead.  If you have a 
braille display, you can verify that you have entered the arpeggio correctly.  
If you see dots 3-4-5, followed by dots 1-3, you have correctly entered this 
annotation.  Otherwise, you must ask a trusted sighted assistant if the 
arpeggio appears correctly formatted.
