Hi,
We are looking into other cursor indicators but for now play with the on and
off blink times as David Simpson suggested.
Thanks,
Albert

Since I'm not part of the development team, I can only speculate that, for
some reason, the usual method for indicating a blinking cursor on a braille
display--pulsating dots 7 & 8--was not possible. So, causing the character
in focus to blink was another option. In any event, its purpose is to
indicate which note is currently in focus.
I use the braille display in two ways. Sometimes, in the Lime window, I
use the Lime keys to navigate through the score, so that I can hear the
music and read the measure that is currently in focus on the braille
display. If I want to move around the score a bit more freely in braille, I
alt-tab to the Braille window that is available when Lime is running, where
I can use the "forward" and "back" thumb keys on my display to move forward
and backward in the score. For this to work, you will probably want to set
the JAWS braille option to have the active cursor follow the braille cursor.
Usually, there's a key on the braille display to toggle this setting, but if
not, you can change it in the JAWS braille settings. To do this, make sure
you're in the Lime window, then hold down the JAWS key and press F2 to bring
up the list of JAWS managers. The top item (the one you'll probably land
on) is called "Adjust Braille Options." You'll find it there.

Ok, thank you David I appreciate it. would it be possible to
implement a checkbox in the next release to just have the display not blink?
what was the impetus for such a feature in the first place and what are the
advantages of it? Is there information on the best way to use lime with a
braille display? I have a braillenote 32 btw, connected by a serial cable
although a bluetooth dongle might be in order since the keyboard is across
the room. Thanks,
Dave Bahr

Dave,
I don't know of a checkbox for turning the blinking on
and off, but you can certainly experiment with the on- and off-time settings
in the Accessibility options. These are measured in tenths of a second. I
set my on-time to 12 and my off-time to 2. So, this means that the cell in
focus is on for 1.2 seconds and off for .2 secs. You might want to play
with longer on-times.
To get to the Accessibility options, go to Start menu,
Programs, Lime submenu. The Accessibility Options are the first item in
that submenu.

Hi there, is it possible to turn off the braille
display's ability to blink when the music is highlighted. I find this
feature to be really kind of annoying at present because I am slow at
reading the music and it keeps popping up and down under my fingers making
it hard to grasp what I want to read. Any thoughts? Thanks,
Dave Bahr
