Lime Music Notation Software for Macintosh

Lime Music Notation Software for Macintosh

Version 9.00

Lime was written by Lippold Haken and Dorothea Blostein.

These are the machine requirements for running Macintosh Lime:

* Mac OS X or Mac OS 9 (for Mac OS 7, Mac OS 8, and 68k macs an older version of Lime is available)
* 32 Mbytes or more of memory
* 15 Mbytes of disk space
* Adobe Acrobat Reader, version 3.01 or newer (to read Lime’s PDF documentation)
* Mac OS 9 users must have OMS
* MIDI keyboard and synthesizer (highly recommended)
* PostScript printer (highly recommended)

To install Lime for Macintosh:

* Download one of the following: Lime for OS X (Lime900osx.zip, 2555 kbytes) or Lime for OS 9 (Lime900os9.sea.hqx, 2290 kbytes) or the Previous Release Lime (for OS 7, OS 8, and 68k, Lime727.sea.hqx, 2454 kbytes).
* Your web browser should decode the downloaded file automatically. If it does not, you can decode it using any program that does BinHex decoding. Decoding will make a StuffIt archive file.
* Your web browser should expand the StuffIt archive automatically. If it does not, you can expand it using any program that does StuffIt expanding. Expanding will make a folder with the Lime program, the Lime manual, example pieces, fonts, and so on.
* Read the instructions in the LimeManual file for the rest of the install procedure.

If you would like to check out the beginning of the Lime manual without waiting for a long download, try ShortLimeManual900.pdf (255 kbytes). This is the first part of the complete Lime manual that you get with Lime727.sea.hqx.

You may try out Lime and read its manual free of charge. If you use it beyond trial runs, Lime will give you instructions for paying for the program (US$65 for an individual license).

As an alternative to the full-featured Lime program, you may download the Lime Viewer: Lime Viewer for OS X (LimeViewer900osx.sit.hqx, 3140 kbytes) or Lime Viewer for OS 9 (LimeViewer900os9.sea.hqx, 2290 kbytes) or the Previous Release Lime Viewer (for OS 7, OS 8, and 68k, LimeViewer727.sea.hqx, 2454 kbytes). The Lime Viewer will never ask for payment; it allows you to view, print, and listen to Lime files, but it does not allow editing of the music.

We encourage you to distribute Lime. Please distribute the complete and unaltered Lime folder which you download from here.

There have been 33274 Macintosh Lime downloads (plus 12346 Lime Viewer downloads and 30517 abbreviated manual downloads) from this web site since November 2000.
