Hi, Douk,
 
It's always best to use the version of Lime we bundle with our GOODFEEL
release.  Currently, it's 9.02 and the version of Lime released from Dr.
Haken's site is 9.00.  However, in the past, we were shipping 8.50 while he
had already released 9.00.  So 9.02 is definitely your best bet.
 
The access piece is mainly provided by the JAWS-based Lime Aloud scripts.
Lime itself is smart enough to know when GOODFEEL is around and to act
accordingly.
 

Regards,
Bill

Hi, Claudio,
 
The MusicXML import feature of Lime is good and quite useful but it is not
yet close to being perfect.  In fact,although the developer of Lime
continues to make improvements in Lime's MusicXML import facility, it will
almost certainly never be completely comprehensive.  That is because of the
nature of MusicXML itself.  Any program can create a MusicXML file
containing almost an infinite variety of information.  Programs that read
such files are free to ignore bits of information that they do not
recognize.
 
To put it more simply, there are many "flavors" of MusicXML and nobody's
software will ever recognize all of them.  That being said, Lime will
generally give you at least all the correct notes and rhythms from any
MusicXML files that does not crash it!  Crashes are fairly rare but still
too common.  Improving Lime's MusicXML import function is a high priority
for Dr. Haken, Lime's developer.  As he makes improvements, we will
incorporate them into the version of Lime we ship with GOODFEEL.
 

Regards,
Bill

Subject: [goodfeel] Lime and XML-import limits


Hi,
I wanted to import an XML-file in Lime, which has been created with Dolet4
of Sibelius and it seems, that it doesn't work for some reasons. The Dolet4
of Sibelius creates a XML-file version2. What are the XML import limits of
Lime? Importing makes Lime crash with message: "lime.exe has produced an
error" or something like that.
Thanks for help.
Claudio
