Dalia, thanks a lot for your helpful hints. Multiple verses is where braille
music editor BME fails to provide a solution for me. I'm very glad that Lime
with the dancing dots suite is cpapable of doing multiple verses. So thanks a
lot for confirming this to me.
Kind regards
Ben

I should add that we do everything with the Dancing Dots suite. The Lime file
is our source file from which we translate into Braille music or create
Modified Staff Notation (large print music). One can manipulate the music to
serve any need. One of our former students wrote his senior thesis project (a
seven movement piano suite) using LimeAloud, for which we did cosmetic editing.

If you are using Lime for print music, it is, of course, possible to do
multiple verses. It is the translation to Braille music that is awkward. You
will need sighted assistance for some editing on your copy for your singers
to make sure everything can be clearly seen.

Hi everybody,
We transcribe many pieces with different verses for two choruses that we
have here at the Lighthouse Guild Music School. We do exactly as Bill
described. It is the best way to deal with multiple verses.

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
