Lime AloudA Whole New Way for the Blind to Read and Write MusicIndependently create print music scores with Lime Aloud, the newest software product from Dancing Dots. “It was the best feeling in the world to hear my teacher take a piece of music I had written, and sight-read it at the piano. There wasn't a choir singing, but I got shivers down my spine anyway, just knowing that now my music isn't just mine, I have the capability of sharing it with the whole world if I want.” System Requirements and What You'll Need to Use Lime Aloud Order Lime Aloud What is Lime Aloud?Lime Aloud marries access technology with the tried and true Lime notation editor software. For decades, musicians all over the world have prepared high quality editions of their musical ideas with Lime. Now blind music students, composers and arrangers can too! Lime Aloud works together with the JAWS for Windows screen reader software. When you order Lime Aloud, you also receive two mainstream software titles: the Lime notation editor and the SharpEye Music Reader for music OCR. You can create and print editions of your own musical ideas or use Lime and Lime Aloud to study pieces from others. New material can be created using the Lime editor, imported from NIFF files made with SharpEye or via Lime's MusicXML import function. MusicXML files can now be exported from a growing number of music notation programs including Finale and Sibelius. Reading Lime Notation Files with Lime Aloud?With Lime Aloud, you can navigate through a musical score using standard cursor keys. Your PC plays each note or chord and verbally describes related annotations such as accents, staccato marks, lyrics and ties via the JAWS screen reader software. Use Lime Aloud to learn new pieces. Play selected sections of any Lime notation file at a practice tempo to facilitate memorization. You can ask Lime Aloud to play a single note, all notes in a particular part, or even all notes in all parts at any given point in the piece. Lime Aloud can report the current part, voice and staff, current bar and beat, name of current part and more whenever you ask. Creating and Printing Lime Notation Files with Lime Aloud?Set your desired rhythmic value and then enter the desired pitch or pitches all from your PC keyboard. Optionally connect a musical keyboard to your system and play pieces in tempo to a metronomic pulse. Lime automatically converts what you play into the equivalent musical notation.
