Snapshot records are designed to contain the minimum number of dancers necessary to do a call. For example, the snapshot record for TOUCH 1/4 should contain two dancers. The CSDS program takes that record and extrapolates how to do a TOUCH 1/4 from formations consisting of multiples of two dancers (e.g., Facing Couples, Facing Lines, Eight Chain Thru, etc.)

When the 'Call Not Found in snapshot database, add it?' screen appears, the program is processing an internal list of possibilities of how to do the call. The program may or may not be trying to use enough dancers to do the call. If there are not enough dancers displayed to be able to do the call, click the 'Next' button to cause the program to display the next possibility in it's internal list. Repeatedly click the 'Next' button until the desired starting formation and number of dancers appears. Then you can add a new snapshot record.

To force the program to use 8 dancers, you must

1. exit the 'Call Not Found' screen via the 'Cancel' button,
2. then select 'Flags | Set all flags', and
3. press 'Enter' (to process the 'Edit buffer').

Now all 8 dancers will be displayed, and the call can be added. Be sure to 'Clear all flags' when you are done, or the program may start behaving strangely.
