+If you are running Lime 9.15 or 9.16, we urge you to update to the latest
release of Lime, version 9.16.4 using the link below. There is no cost to
do so provided that you already have Lime 9.15 or later.
If you have an earlier version of Lime, the cost to upgrade is $395. See
information below on new and improved features.
This version comes with a number of bug fixes. It should solve a bug some
users have reported with the Go To Bar/Page dialog. In some situations,
part of the text of the dialog would not be visible.
It comes with a vastly improved importer for MusicXML scores. MusicXML has
become the de facto file format for exchanging score data. Many users find
the automatic scrolling option quite helpful.
The new ticker tape context presents the score in one continuous ribbon.
The new Auto Cue context presents the score in a three-stave vertical
arrangement for those who like to look back and look ahead while reading
music. Note that Auto Cue automatically overrides your chosen zoom level if
necessary in order to present three staves simultaneously. So the Auto Cue
option may not be for you if you read at higher zoom levels because Auto Cue
may need to reduce that size in order to display all three staves..
New and Improved Features in Lime 9.16.4
.Full support for importing scores in the MusicXML format.
.Support for the AirTurn wireless pedal which is much lighter and quieter
than the USB pedal.
