Hello Bill
Thanks for your reply. I forgot to tell that I don't own goodfeel yet. I'd like
to know if the example I wrote about could be realized with Lime and the
scripts from dancing dots. If yes, this would really mean a big thing to me and
I'd buy this product.
To make my main question clear once again in short terms: Is it possible to
enter lyrics in a 2nd independent voice? Will it appear at the correct place
when I export the XML file into sibelius? I'm directing choirs, they are
sighted people singing my arrangements. So this would really have to work.
Thanks and kind regards
Ben

Hello, Ben,
So glad to see you here on our GoodFeel list. Welcome.
GoodFeel can certainly transcribe lyrics. However, it only reads the first
line of lyrics shown in Lime. If you have multiple lyrics, you must insert
empty measures, copy the music for the verse into them, and then add the lyrics
for that verse.
For example, if verse 1 has 8 bars, move to the last bar in verse 1 and press
CONTROL+I to insert 8 blank measures.
Move back to first bar of
verse 1.
ALT+E for Edit. Choose the entry called "Copy Measures"
Copy 8 measures.
Move back to first empty bar and press CONTROL+V to paste.
Entering lyrics in Lime is fairly easy. Move to the first note in the passage.
ALT+A for Annotation, t for Text Category and then y for lyrics.
Type the first syllable. Press the tab key and Lime moves you to the next note
where you can type the next syllable. When finished, press ESCAPE key.
See the GoodFeel user manual for details on how to format lyrics. You should
find a shortcut to it from the submenu of the GoodFeel entry on the Windows
Start Menu.
An alternative approach: braille the words and music for verse 1. Then, after
the final double bar of the music, write out the lyrics in literary braille
using verse numbers.
Bill

Subject: [goodfeel] First question
Hello all
I'm new here, some of you might know my name from the caketalking list or
sibelius access. I'm a blind musician, teacher and composer from Switzerland.
I bought the braille music editor from Vaia Progetti a few years ago and became
very very dependent on this software. But I also experience some limitations
which seriously hinder my creativity and workflow. This is the reason why
Goodfeel and LimeAloud came to my mind again.
And so here comes my first question: Is it possible to add lyrics to songs,
which have different verses?
I'll try to explain this question a bit more: Most songs have some verses and a
chorus. If all verses are written exactly with the same melody and the same
verse metrum it is (at least with braille music editor) a very easy thing to
add lyrics to a melody. However there are some songs where a verse's melody
must change because there are some more words which must fit in, or the
opposite.
Let's do an example in braille with the beginning of the song Summer Time from
George Gershwin.
Verse 1
Text: Summer time
Melody: '.$64 &
Verse 2
Text: One of these mornin's
Melody: '.x$ffd 6p.
How I would solve this, so that verse 2 can be written neadly below verse 1:
'.$642`x$ffd $&2`$6p.
That's what I tried to do in braille music editor. But this program doesn't
allow placing lyrics to a 2nd voice.
I hope you get what I'm trying to do and can tell me if this would be possible
with Lime and the scripts from Dancing Dots?
Thanks and kind regards
Ben
