Iuse a screen reader called voice over. It is not that good in the terminal so if line numbers could be enabled in lily pond that would be nice as I could then see where the mistake is and correct it. or copy and paste the relevant line on to the list or what not. Take care. all and be blessed.

Cool. so if let's say the cello part had a double stop and i don't remember all the other notes as I'm just waking up but for example the cello part would read something like {c c, g | } since the double stop is on g and c? the notes before it would be single notes only. and I mean g2 and c3

Oh btw another question. Let's say I did want the cello part to play the middle notes in the cluster shall we say. How do I just simply have 1 note be divisi, or so I show it as a cord with the less then and grader then symbols? I'm thinking from my days as a string player I can do the latter as
