Hi David and the community,
May I be sure of something, please? Do you mean that those three notes held in
the right hand were written as counterpoint symbols or as simultaneous triads?
So what is your problem? Or do the three notes have short rythems?
Thank you.
Adel

I perhaps didn't explain things properly. "To A Lady Fair" is a piece for a
single piano with right-hand and left-hand parts, each on its staff marked as
Treble Clef and Bass Clef for Right and Left hands, respectively. The
difficulty is that there are a lot of "moving notes" in the right hand; and in
most cases, the right hand will be playing or holding three notes pretty much
through the whole piece. So I figured that I need three voices in that
right-hand part. The left hand has only two voices. At one time years ago,
when I was into Orchestra-90 for the TRS-80 Model III, which was only five
notes polyphonic, I was able to score the complete piece for playback on that
synthesizer. So there is no doubt that my piece can be scored using a total of
five voices - three in the right hand and two in the left hand.
But here is the rub! When I try to emboss the piece, I get an error indicating
that the right-hand part will be embossed as a separate line; then when I press
the Process button, it doesn't emboss anything, and I believe I have some kind
of "violation error" but I don't have it captured. At one point when I was
trying to emboss this piece, I once got an error message saying something to
the effect that Lime can merge only two voices, though I didn't realize that
there was a limit at that low a number.
When I get the piece embossed, I want it in a standard braille piano score with
measure numbers at the beginning of each right-hand part - just the way a
braille piano score should appear. I wouldn't want to pull each part out
separately on its own page.
If you need to see the score as I have it, I could attach it to a message for
you. This one has me "buffaloed"!
I will appreciate any help you can provide.

Salut David
If I understand, do you need to emboss each part separately? I do not clearly
understand what you mean. Basically, I think you should emboss each staff
separately in your arrangement of "To a Lady Fair"?
Thank you.

Objet : [goodfeel] A Piece That Won't Emboss
Hello, Bill and listers,
I finally got around to embossing a copy of my first Lime transcription titled,
"To A Lady Fair by David Plumlee." It plays properly, and sighted folk have
said that it prints properly; but I cannot emboss it. One warning I received
indicated that Piano 1 will be embossed on a separate line. It did emboss once
last night, but the measure numbering embossed without any of the right-hand or
left-hand indications.
I renamed the two parts to RH and LH so that the voices became RH1, RH2, RH3,
LH1, and LH2. I got the same error that RH part would print on a separate
line, but when I clicked Process, the piece did not emboss.
The left hand has only two voices, but the right hand has three. What would I
have to do to fix the score so that it will play, print, and emboss properly?
Do I need to somehow redo the whole right-hand part so as to "weed it down" to
only two voices? That process would be rather involved, but I could probably
do that if that is required to make it emboss for me. Having proper playback
and printing, I could at least decide whether I would want to "rework" that
right-hand part; I might conclude that the task is more involved than I want
and thus decide to abandon the braille version, or I might work on it bit by
bit over time to get it done.
I can send the two version off-list to anyone who can help me figure out what
is wrong and how to fix it.
