Hi,
Q. When using the Lime Aloud access method to scroll through a Lime score,
what does it mean when JAWS announces "rest not visible"?
It usually means that you are focused on the second or more measure in a
group rest or gathered rest. For instance, in the print score, a gathered
rest of 4 bars rest is written as a whole rest with a 4 above it, I believe.
If you move to the second measure of that gathered rest, Lime Aloud will
tell you that you are focused on a measure rest but, in fact, that measure
rest is literally not visible in the print score at that location. Same
actually is true of the braille score since a 4 measure rest is written as
3-4-5-6, 1-4-5, 1-3-4 or number sign, 4, m.
As you may know, when one scrolls through a piece using Lime with Lime
Aloud, the braille music and the print music scroll in sync. It can be very
useful for a braille music reader to ask a sighted helper what a particular
symbol means knowing that the braille highlight and the print highlight
indicate the same score position. Of course, it can be equally helpful to a
blind teacher helping a sighted student.

Hi there.
A couple of questions.
Is anyone interested in sharing XML files or MIF files. I found a link on
the web for 400 Bach chorales converted to XML format. They are excellent.
Does anyone know if there is a simple way to move 1 voice to another (or
vice versa) on a single staff without much copying/?
What does it mean when JAWS announces "rest not visible"?
A problem I have encountered with importing *.TIF files into Sharp Eye is
that if I have multiple page TIF files only the first page is able to be
read by Sharp Eye. So unless the PDF files are single pages you may
encounter the same problem unless there is a work around.
