<DIV>Yes, we are talking about enlargement, not speech access. You make
some valid points. I believe it will make the music large enough.
Scrolling hands-free may be an issue. We need to research the AirTurn
Pedal to see if it is compatible with Sibelius so he can use it
hands-free. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Someone mentioned the Lime Lighter – we can’t afford the cost and it is a
bit too big/bulky for a small student to carry to various classes.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We will be sure to share whatever works with as many people as we can as we
have spent substantial time over the last couple months trying to figure this
out. We still welcome any input as we haven’t finalized it all yet.
</DIV>

<DIV>Thank you all for your assistance. </DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>You're talking about enlargement, not speech
access, right? I think Sibelius and Photoscore would work, especially
since Sibelius supports that combination. It might be a good idea to get
the demos to try. I think they will work for five days. The concerns
I have are, 1( will Sibelius make the music large enough, and 2) does your son
need to scroll through the music hands-free? If so, I don't know how one
would connect a foot pedal, as Sibelius has had a history of not supporting this
idea. With the Mac's being able to recognize gestures, it might be
possible to have scrolling be activated in some other way, like a hed nod.
The question would be, who would program it to do that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Oh, also be aware that the scanning will probably
need further editing, such as if there is a repeat, those notes will probably
need to be written out, as it would be difficult to find the beginning of the
repeated measures.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Please do let us know the solution, or partial
solution you find, as it could help many others.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hello. Does anybody on this list have any experience with the
programs Sibelius & PhotoScore Ultimate? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We are considering these programs for our son to be used on a MacBook so
he can compose, edit, scan and enlarge music. We have researched many
programs and believe these will work the best with the equipment we have to
use. However, we have not heard of anyone using this combination of
programs. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We would welcome any input you have about these programs. Thank you
very much for your time. </DIV>
