Ann, I assume you've tried resetting the embosser. If that didn't help, the
trouble may lie in the cable that connects the computer to the embosser. Try a
different cable or a different port,

Subject: [duxuser] Trash at the top of page
I am running DBT 10.5 with a Juliet Pro 60 embosser. Sometimes, I see
trash on the first line of my document. Here is an example of what I've
seen. With no spaces:

Dear Victoria,
I've never tried to do any kind of editing like that which you describe.
If the braille file's not too large, it could be manually edited.
I suppose one could write a program that could automate the process of
stripping out unwanted line and measure heading, etc. from the
electronic braille file of the score and even repaginating if need be.
If each line in the open score has a unique instrument abbreviation in
the margin, then the program could find and delete those lines based on
that search criterion. Of course, make a back-up of original before
beginning such tinkering!
If you have the source notation file or if you wish to create one,
Dancing Dots' GOODFEEL software has a great deal of flexibility for
creating the braille for selected parts in a score. GOODFEEL can create
an ensemble transcription, one transcription for each of the 4 voices,
and a bar-over-bar transcription of the accompaniment based on available
transcription options. All information must be in the source Lime file.
With GOODFEEL 3, one can import MusicXML versions of scores which can be
exported from such popular commercial notation software as Sibelius and
Finale.
A couple of important things to know: the current version of GOODFEEL
can show both words and music only for individual vocal parts. In other
words, GOODFEEL can not yet produce a standard vocal score (the music
lay-out that shows all vocal parts with words and music) although it can
produce instrumental scores (the music lay-out that shows the notes for
all instruments but no lyrics). So, in your example, GOODFEEL can show
individual music lines for Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass (SATB) in a
score format but not the words for all 4 parts as would be expected in a
vocal score. All we need to add such support to the software is time
and money (smile)!
Also, with more time and money, we can teach GOODFEEL to automatically
transcribe pieces that show multiple verses of lyrics. Presently,
GOODFEEL only automatically brailles words for verse 1 for individual
parts. For example, we can ask GOODFEEL to braille both the words and
music for the tenor part and the tenor will see a line of lyrics
followed by the music line for those words in each music parallel on the
braille page. Verses 2 and beyond can be shown as literary braille
below music transcription. This solution will work particularly well
now that we have our first release of an optional integration with
Duxbury. Otherwise, one must edit the music source file to copy and
paste the music for verse 1 to create music for verses 2 and beyond.
Then manually type in lyrics where they belong.
I invite anyone who's interested in greater detail to write me off-list
at my info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx address.
HTH,
Bill

Hi Victoria,
I believe Bill McCann of Dancing Dots is on the list, and hopefully has
a more in depth knowledge about your question.
I draw it to Bell's attention anyway.
George.

Any DBT-using music braillists . . .
Has anyone ever successfully manipulated the e-file of an open score
ensemble piece, such as a SATB chorus with piano accompaniment, into
standard format for each of the four voices + separate accompaniment?
Or, vice versa? Or, is it more likely that one would need to produce
separate transcriptions? i.e., one ensemble transcription, one
transcription for each of the 4 voices, and a bar-over-bar transcription
of the accompaniment.
I'll ask this question of music braillists attending the NBA conference
next week but will be interested in hearing from anyone out there who
has any experience in this type of thing. Thanx!
