[Reader-users] two questions

[Thomas Bickford]

Hello Frank,
In order to get a good reading, you need a clean area without extraneous
clutter.  The reader is confused by non-textual information.  I would be
happily surprised if you can get the reader to ignore the musical
information, lines and spaces with musical notes, dotted notes, notes with
stems up and down with and without flags, repeat signs, accent signs, and
all the rest of the material that musical scores are richly endowed with and
read only the text of the words on a musical score.   Good luck, and let us
know.
Tom Bickford
