[Menvi-discuss] Writing Chord and figured Bass in Lime?

[Brandon Keith Biggs]

Hello,
I have tried the chord symbols, other text and lyric text. All have had 
problems. Because I can't see the screen and I'm not really around sighted 
people who read music, I can't do an extensive test to see what will work 
best. The problem with labeling the notes like sighted people is that it 
ends up going behind the staff lines.
Thank you,

Brandon Keith Biggs

I'm surprised you didn't have to produce notation like this until now.

Lime must have a way to do figured bass.  Back
when I was using Sibelius Speaking, I just picked
figured bass from a menu and typed the numbers
one above the next, as the sighted would.
