[Menvi-discuss] Copying Music into Lime for Analysis.

[Debra Baxley]

Can a totally blind person operate Lime?  How do I learn Lime?  I'm 50 years
old; so, there's probably no music-learning materials to learn from,so can I
learn Lime?

Hello, Kaiti,

There are 3 ways to get music into the Lime format:

1.  Scan with the SharpEye Music Reader music OCR included with GOODFEEL
suite of accessible music software.  Best done by a sighted assistant who
knows how to read print music.  Assistant need not be a gifted performer or
necessarily know anything about braille or assistive technology in general.

2.  Import musical scores directly into Lime.  Lime can import 3 formats:
MusicXML, NIFF, and MIDI.  MusicXML has become the de facto standard for
sharing scores between music notation programs.  If you have access to any
of the scores in an electronic format such as Finale or Sibelius, there is a
free plug-in called Dolet that can convert those formats into MusicXML.

3.  Direct entry into Lime: as you know, you can enter music directly into
Lime by typing, clicking, or playing notes in from an electronic musical
keyboard (piano-style).

HTH,
Bill

Hi,

I asked this question a few weeks ago, but in the thread it was never really
answered.  Basically I'm wondering if there is a more efficient way to get
what I'm supposed to analyze for my theory class into lime than copying
everything from the textbook manually.  The pieces are already starting to
get longer and more complex, so if there is a more efficient way of doing
this that anyone knows of or has had a good experience with please let me
know.

Thanks,
