Lime was written by Lippold Haken and Dorothea Blostein. Lime was ported to Windows by Paul Christensen and Lippold Haken.

These are the machine requirements for running Windows Lime:

Windows2000 or later, including Windows 10/11; (for earlier systems, 9.05 is required from the archive).
Mouse or equivalent
Adobe Acrobat Reader or equivalent (to read Lime’s PDF documentation)
A simple MIDI keyboard is recommended, but not essential (Windows 2000 or later includes a built-in synthesizer)

Users of Lime can build a score by manipulating graphical musical symbols such as clef signs and note heads. The score appears on the screen in conventional notation. The work can be saved as a file which can be passed to GOODFEEL.

GOODFEEL reads the file and determines the braille music equivalents. Presently, Lime cannot be used independently by a blind person. However, sighted teachers, colleagues and assistants could certainly use Lime to prepare scores to be brailled by GOODFEEL.
