Dear Naum,
On starting up your computer, I presume that you are seeing braille on your
Focus display. If not, let me know, and I will suggest some other things to
try. If you are seeing braille that means that JAWS is configured properly.
If not, some JAWS settings may need to be changed.
Our scripts for the Lime notation editor software, which are called Lime Aloud,
will display the current measure of braille music on your Focus 40 Blue or any
other braille display that is compatible with the JAWS for Windows screen
reader. That is, Lime shows the score in standard staff notation on the screen
for sighted people to read. Lime Aloud shows the equivalent braille music
notation on a refreshable braille display connected to your PC.
When you first run Lime, no music is displayed on the screen or on the braille
display. As you know, you must open an existing Lime piece or create a new
one. If you have opened a piece in Lime and the braille display still shows
the message that reads:
“No music to display”,
Here are some techniques for resolving the problem.
Hold down JAWS key, CONTROL key and ESCAPE key. You will need two hands for
that one. This keystroke refreshes the JAWS scripts.
If that fails to fix the problem:
Hold down the ALT key while you press the TAB key twice. Release ALT key.
Now, Hold down the ALT key while you press the TAB key twice. Release ALT key
and you should be focused on Lime once again.
Rarely but sometimes, you must unload JAWS and restart it. INSERT+F4 unloads
JAWS. If possible, set a hotkey to restart JAWS such as ALT+CONTROL+J so it
will be easy to restart JAWS after you unload it.
There are some situations where the Lime Aloud scripts erroneously display the
"no music to display" message. One situation seems to be when a piece begins
with a gathered rest. Try moving ahead a measure or two and sometimes the
braille music appears. Press Numpad 9, or the PAGE UP key, to move ahead by a
measure.
HTH,
Bill

I have a very embarrassing question.
I need to know what to press to open Focus 40 Blue Braille so my students and I
see the notation ? What keys are responsible to start the Focus 40 Blue Braille
Thank you so much

Hi, James. I find this is the case as well, that my annotations are only seen
in the upper part. I have been writing him duets for various instruments. When
I want to write a piano accompaniment I add it to the already created top two
flute parts. Then, I delete them after I have heard my whole score played to
make sure it is what I want. When I am left with the piano accompaniment, all
my annotations are gone, including the title, composer, and tempo marking. It
would be great if these were retained. Other than adding them to all parts as
you say you do, is there a way to retain them so I do not have to reenter them?
It's not a big deal, but just wondering.
Also, I saw the text of your message just fine, while Bill did not. I think
that is curious. I am reading my email on my iPhone.

Hi Ria,
If I've understood you correctly, I have the same problem in multi-part
scores, in that the tempo indication only seems to appear in the top part. My
work around is to add the same annotation to all parts, ensuring that focus
is on the first note in the piece for the part in question.
I think it is to do with the type of annotation that you select and to be
honest I don't find Lime's method of annotations very intuitive. The
difference between the text assistant and the other one is not clear to me.
I'm less familiar with transposition. We tend to produce the scores at
notated pitch.
Cheers, James

Subject: [goodfeel] Transposition and tempo markings
Hi all,
I tried to transpose a pre-existing file through Lime. When I played
it back and checked with Lime aloud, it read the piece in the new key.
However, when I converted the said file to Braille on Goodfeel, it's
still written in the original key. Does anyone know how to fix this?
My other problem is: when editing a multi-parts choral piece, I notice
that the first part (usually soprano) has the initial tempo marking
but the rest of them don't. Is this a glitch, or because the code has
been set that way? In some pieces, the tempo markings are more
descriptive (allegro, adagio etc). So far, the converted file
translated this to metronom marking. Someone did suggest I can extract
the original descriptive marking through the XML file itself however,
I've been having difficulty matching it with the converted file.
Would appreciate any tips :)
Thank you so much in advance,
Ria
