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.

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
