Ceder Square Dance System (CSDS) ==>
Call from Screen
Calling sequences from a laptop
How do I set up the program to read and call sequences from the laptop?
- Write the sequences.
- Create a dance.
- Call the dance.
- From the main menu, select 'Dance' followed by 'Call from screen'.
- Select the dance you wish to call and click 'OK'. (This screen
may not appear if only one dance is defined).
- The dance should now be displayed.
- Set the default timer values for the tip and the break. You can
also configure the timer to play a '.wav' file when the time elapses. To do so,
from the menu, select 'Timer' followed by 'Settings...'
- To bring a frame (i.e., pile of sequences) to the foreground,
either click within the frame, or press the appropriate function key
(e.g., F1 brings the first frame to the foreground).
- You can sequence thru the sequences within the frame by pressing
F11 and F12.
- Within the current frame, the up-arrow, down-arrow, Home, PgUp, PgDn and
End keys scroll through the text.
- After you have called the sequence, press U to 'use' the
sequence. This will move the sequence from the frame and place it in the
'used sequences' frame. To toggle whether or not the program asks for
confirmation when you use a sequence, from the
menu, select 'Options' and check or uncheck 'Confirm 'use sequence''.
- Sequences can also be removed from the dance by pressing R.
- If you call a sequence and discover that it has a problem, press P to mark it as having a problem. Later,
after you have called the dance, you can go and fix the problem sequences.
