Hi Debra and Bill

To creat a pick-up measure, you can also add a mesure with ctrl-D and change 
the numerator of this measure. I explain: in a 4/4 piece, you can add a 1/4 
measure to have an anacrusis. Lime will give you an option to place this 
measure where you want in the piece.

Bonne journée.

  Hi, Debra,

  As you know, our GOODFEEL Braille Music Translator ships with a licensed
  copy of both the SharpEye Music Reader music OCR software and the Lime
  notation editor.  Our Lime Aloud scripts are also installed for those
  customers who use the JAWS for Windows screen reader.  Lime Aloud gives
  verbal and musical cues while the JAWS user scrolls through the score.  The
  print notation is displayed on screen while the equivalent braille music
  notation can be displayed on a braille display.  Print and braille notation
  scrolls in sync so that sighted and blind users know the precise note in the
  score which is highlighted and can communicate with each other about the
  music even though they may not understand how to read notation in both
  mediums.  See http://www.dancingdots.com/prodesc/limealoud.htm for details.

  In the instructions below, I have tried to give equivalents for sighted
  users but since I use JAWS myself, I know the keyboard-based commands much
  better.  I'd appreciate it if a sighted subscriber would describe how he or
  she selects rhythmic values in Lime using the mouse.

  To enter rests:

  Voice | Note Entry or CONTROL+N to toggle Notation Entry Mode on
  $$$ double-click the note or rest where you want to start adding notes and 
single-click a note or rest to leave note entry mode.  The Lime manual refers 
to these two modes as the 'Note Entry Cursor' and the 'Edit Cursor'.

  Set rhythmic value with numbers 1-6 on Numbers Row
  $$$ single-click the rhythm in the Piano window.

  Type the letter R to enter a rest equal to the rhythmic value you have set.
  $$$ Single-click the rest on the right side of the piano window.

  See the heading "Notes (Adding and Editing)" in the Lime Aloud Guide.

  Setting Pick-up Measures

  If the first measure of a piece has fewer beats than established by the time
  signature of the piece, that bar is called a pick-up or anacrusis.  To
  number the pick-up measure as 0:

  Move to the first note of the pick-up measure in the top staff of the piece.

  Edit | Options or ALT+E, O.

  set "Start bar numbers at" to 0

  See Page 38 of the MS Word version of the GOODFEEL manual for more on bar
  numbering rules.  Shortcut to this document: Start Menu | Programs |
  GOODFEEL | GOODFEEL Manual in MS Word.  You can also find this information
  by selecting Help from GOODFEEL's menu, click on the Index tab, type in
  "pickup" and click Display. 
   
  I have copied this reply to our GOODFEEL list.  If you're not subscribed and
  would like to be, just let me know.  In general, our ddots-l list focuses on
  audio production and related topics.  However, a number of customers
  subscribe to both the GOODFEEL and the ddots-l lists.
