Katy, Thank you so much for showing this.  I did read that most music in electronic format is in a pdf file that does not convert well on the lime lighter.  Does anyone know of a particular method for converting these inaccessible pdf files or a hard copy to something more text based?

How does it Work?

Each time you press the control on the right side of the pedal included, the music on the screen advances to the next measure. In effect, the page of music slides from right to left so that the start of each measure appears roughly at the same position on the screen. A focus rectangle highlights the start of each measure as well. To move back one measure, you press the left side of the pedal. To move to the top of the piece or to the beginning of the currently repeated section, you press on the center of the pedal. Features
  • Displays magnified print music notation.
  • Magnify music from 1.25 up to 10 times.
  • Markup your music on the screen with special stylus and save for later.
  • Listen to music play back at your desired tempo.
  • Optionally use third-party magnification software to read text in The Lime Lighter's program menus and dialogs.
  • Optionally use third-party magnification software to modify the foreground and background colors of the music.
  • Composers and arrangers can use The Lime Lighter to enter, revise and print out their musical ideas.
 
Also, here is the link to a relatively brief youtube video:

Would you share a brief description of this device so I have an idea if it would help me to go to the link for more info?  Sure would save me potential time.
 
Thanks much!!
