capella-Neuigkeiten
9/12/2008: Stepup 6.0-13 is published now and can be downloaded here. Of special interest for blind:

• It is now possible to jump between captune tempo control window and main window without mouse, using Alt F6.
• If a text window is open (simple or Rich Text), you can now leave it unmodified using the Esc-key and need not find the cancel button.

1. Where am I?
Download Documentation
Short description:
This script is an "internal" capella script and can therefore be run with the demo version of capella professional.
The script shows a window with an edit field containing a description of the note object at the cursor position. This description may be read aloud by a screen reader or routed to a Braille display. Also graphic objects and texts linked to the note are shown, but lyrics syllables cannot (yet). There is no Braille-translation (yet).
It has been created independently from Cursor_Location and has a similar application domain.

4. braille-view-window
Download
Short description:
This script is an "external" capella-Script and can only be run with the licensed version capella professional.
This script is derived from Braille-view. It routes the Braille-translation of the capella voice in the capella stave, which is indicated by the cursor, to a new popup text window, so it can be read directly on the Braille display. If there are lyrics verses belonging to the voice, they are shown on follow-up lines in the text window.
Correction Dec 21th, 2008: Texts attached to the page (title, composer etc.) are no longer put out.
Correction Apr 8th, 2009: Display of voice number corrected (was always displayed as 1, although the contents really belonged to the voice at the cursor) Author: Bernd Jungmann
