Ceder Square Dance System (CSDS) ==> Choreography
How do I find where a call can be done?
How can I find out from where a certain call is accepted by the program, for example all formations for Grand Right and Left, Allemande Left, Promenade etc. ?

You can search the snapshot database for the given call. I.e.,
  1. starting from the CSDS main menu, select 'Snapshot | View a record';
  2. from the 'View Snapshot' window, select 'Find | Find a record';
  3. in the 'Find Snapshot Record' dialog box, click on the 'Exact Match' tab and enter a call such as 'Grand Right and Left';
  4. click 'OK' to exit the dialog box and start the search. The first record with the given call should appear;
  5. Press 'F3' (Find Next) or 'Ctrl+F3' (Find Previous) to navigate between instances of the call.

Note #1: for calls that require less than 8 dancers to do the call (e.g., Right & Left Thru), the snapshot database only contains the call from positions with the minimal number of dancers (for Right & Left Thru, there are 3 snapshot records: 1) from Facing Couples; 2) from a R-H Wave; and 3) from a hybrid Facing Couples / R-H Wave.). The program uses these 3 records to extrapolate the call to be done from Eight Chain Thru, Facing Lines, R-H Tidal Wave, etc.

Note #2: some 4-dancer calls (usually box-to-box calls such as Single Checkmate, Shake & Rattle, Swap Around, etc.) are hardcoded into the program, and do not have any snapshot records. This is also the case with calls such as Press, Loop, Truck, Curve, etc.
