Hi,
You can configure GOODFEEL's Transcription Options to begin each parallel with
a measure number.
Run GOODFEEL
Options | Transcription Options
Or press ALT+O, and then ENTER
Tab to checkbox that says
Begin each parallel with measure number
And press space bar to check
Tab to
Save as Defaults
Button and press space.
Until you uncheck that field, GOODFEEL will place the starting measure number
at the start of each line of words or at start of the music line for
instrumental solo pieces. GOODFEEL always shows bar numbers for keyboard
pieces and full scores.
It would not be practical to label each measure with a measure number. If you
really want to do it for select situations, you would have to insert what Lime
calls a rehearsal marker in front of each and every measure in the piece. The
resulting braille would be challenging to read even for an experienced reader.
I recommend the setting described above.
If the band director tells the group to start at bar 27, the braille reader can
run his finger down the left margin of the score and find the number that is
closest to 27. Let's say it's 24. Then he can count across the line until he
finds 27.
The rehearsal markers should be inserted wherever one appears in the print
score. Marker s indicate the start of major sections of the piece. They can
be numeric, alphabetic or even be words or phrases such as "Trio" or "A Tempo."
Use Annotations | Text Category | Rehearsal or
ALT+A, T, R
To insert a marker.

Hi,
I am using goodfeel for a first year band student. The teacher is requesting
each measure be labeled. Is there a way to do this?
