Ceder Square Dance System (CSDS) ==> Choreography

Modifying calls #2
  1. How do I modify, "Cast A Shadow" for instance, to have the centers turn 3/4 instead of the normal 1/4?
  2. Also, is there a source in the database for learning how to change calls in general?

  1. Cast A Shadow Trailing Centers Cast 3/4
  2. No, but perhaps I should start such a database.

    In general, however, that isn't necessary, since the CSDS program has a 'learn' feature that allows it to mold itself to the caller's style of delivery.

    When a unrecognized call is typed into the program, one of the following two messages will typically appear:

    1. "Parse problem - unknown tokens encountered" -- this means that the program can not determine what it is you're trying to say. This message can be caused by a typing mistake, or perhaps you have a different way of spelling the call. The message also appears when the program doesn't recognize the abbreviation that you used. In any case, you can add a new abbreviation, edit the abbreviation database, or edit the parse database (with perhaps a little difficulty) to resolve the problem.
    2. "Call not found in snapshot database, add it?" -- this means that you've typed in a call, but the program does not know how to do it from the current formation. This is either due to the call being illegal from the current formation, or to the fact that the program has never encountered the call done from that formation (such as Peel & Trail from a 3x1 T-Bone Box). In the latter case, press the 'Process or Add' button to add the call to the snapshot database, and the program will now know how to do that call from that formation.
