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

[BRLGRL]

Hi, Debra.
I'm 40, not that far away from you. Lime's got a quick-start guide that 
you can access through the web, and Dancing Dots provides great support.
If you want ideas for practice material to learn on as far as inputting, 
use whatever hard copy braille music you have on hand.

HTH,
Dani
