Hi Bill:
I downloaded the package, and tried the procedure again. the same problem
persists. When importing the midi file, and where it asks about specifying the
shortest note, it does not have the 64th note value. If I specify a 16th note
value with a quarter metronome beat, The first note of the piece will show as
quarter note while it should be an eighth, and thus affecting the measuring. If
I select the 32nd note value with 8th metronome beat, everything goes well
except when it comes to the last couple bars where the 32nd and 64th note
values are introduced. I didn't try entering 64th notes using the grave key
yet. It's getting too late here and I am tired, so I'll retire to bed for right
now.
thank you for any further suggestions.
Douk

OK, Douk, try the grave key for 64TH and SHIFT+Grave for 128TH values. I
believe you have a beta version of Lime 9 that supports that keystroke. If
that does not work for you, you will need to install GOODFEEL 3.1 which ships
with Lime 9. See www.dancingdots.com/gf/31dl.htm and follow link to "Package
Installer". If you are authorized for GF 3.0 you should need no further
authorization. Anyone who is authorized to run GOODFEEL 3.0 has my permission
to download this update if they wish.
Once you're happy with GOODFEEL 3.1 and Lime 9, it is very important that you
delete any shortcuts on your desktop or Start menu that point to GOODFEEL 3.0
or Lime 8. Or you can simply uninstall GOODFEEL 3 and Lime 9. SharpEye
version is the same.
Once a Lime file is saved in the Lime 9 format, it cannot be read again in
Lime 8 or any earlier versions of Lime.
GOODFEEL 3.1 is a no-cost update for those who are authorized to run GOODFEEL
3.0. It runs under Windows XP and Vista. The Lime Aloud scripts that come
with it will work with JAWS 6.x through 9.x. See Start | Programs | Lime |
Language Manager to change Lime's language to English, German or Spanish.
We will soon make an "official" announcement about it but try it if you like.
Note to other members: if you are happy with GOODFEEL 3.0 and Lime 8, there is
no urgent need to update.
Regards,
Bill

Hi Bill:
I did indeed do all that, and imported the file successfully, however, as I
stated in my original message, I couldn't find the 64th note value in lime. All
it gives me is 32nd with an eighth beat for the metronome. I did send the file
to albert so you guys can take a look at it. I sent him the original file that
I wanted transposed to a minor from g minor (that is 2 half steps up). I also
want it in lime format so I can print it for my sighted students in order to
avoid conflicting scores. The last couple mesures contain 32nd and 64th notes.
Thanks
Douk

For rhythmically complex MIDI files, I think Lime might do a better job of
importing rather than opening the file directly in GOODFEEL. As I recall,
shortest note value in GOODFEEL's MIDI Part Control equals 7 which maxes you
out at 32ND note values. Yes, send file here and we can play with it.
Lime's MIDI import is a bit tedious as you must create a new file with at
least enough empty measures to hold music from your MIDI file. It must have
one part for each MIDI track. So if your MIDI file has 4 tracks, your empty
Lime file must have 4 parts. Use Voice | Parts and Voices to add parts (ALT+V,
V). If there are any time signature changes, you must create them in the empty
Lime file before importing MIDI into Lime. The MusicXML import feature of Lime
is much smarter. To import a MIDI file, you must import it one track at a time.

Hi Albert:
I have tried your suggestion, but GoodFeel tells me to try to select
shorter notes in my midi sequencer. So no luck there. I originally wanted to do
it in limeSo I can do some editing as necessary. Do you have any suggestions in
lime?

Hi,
First, you probably need to tell GOODFEEL to stop right after loading a
MIDI file. You can do this by checking 'Always prompt after loading a MIDI
file' in the Options | Automation Options dialog. Then when you load a MIDI
file GOODFEEL will display the GOODFEEL MIDI Processing dialog which will give
you access to the (MIDI) Part Control dialog (Alt+C) and in there you'll need
to change Shortest Note to 7 (for 64th notes) for the parts that need it. I
highly recommend only changing it for the parts that need it. Pressing F1 in
this dialog will explain this dialog more fully and there's a link in there
about how to navigate and modify fields in there.
Thanks,
Albert

Ok guys. I am stomped here. I have a midi file here that I downloaded
from the internet. The last few bars contain some 32nd and 64 note values. How
can I get lime to recognize that? when I import it into lime, the smallest
value it allows me to select is a 32nd note at an eighth beat. I appreciate
your help. I have the piece ready for anyone who wants to take a stab at it.
thanks.
