Hello Dan,

I agree with Claudio. I would like to share my feeling that uwhile using 
sibelius with access, it feels as if it had been on the scene forever. The 
way that you explain the features and help resolve the problems is 
impressive but it is much more astounding to see first beta of these scripts 
can do so much. Your existance is a great favour for musicians if you don't 
mind hearing.

By the way, you are right, after working on the software's features a little 
I was able to get scripts read glissando but I want to ask though, are we 
not able to read lines while arrowing?

By the way I am still   searching why the jaws delays/repeats the  previous 
bar etc. I feel it is about my system configuration or so on but still I 
want to describe it once more if you'd like to take time to answer:

I am navigating a score. I press right arrow and it goes to the next item. I 
press once more and I hear the jaws repeating what it said in the previous 
item. I go back with left arrow and come back, and it seems to work again.

Thanks for your and everyone's kind and generous efforts for making such an 
excelent software making so accessible.

Best regards,
Ugur
