Hi,

I had this particular file on my desktop since I had just downloaded
the xml version from blackboard and quickly imported and exported it
to make a Lime version.  When I opened the original file it was
titled, "Theory 2 assignment 1 incomplete.lim."  After following the
save prompt in Lime that file was no longer there, but the file I
wrote in, "Theory 2 chords in inversion incomplete," was there in it's
place, and none of my previous work stayed in addition to what was in
the original xml file I used to get Theory 2 assignment 3.lim.  I have
checked the Lime and Goodfeel folders, as well as my documents and
other places it could have saved.  The I did the global search as
well, but it only showed me the chords in inversion file, not the
assignment 3 file.  I sucked it up and just rewrote my work.
