Menus

Edit

• New record  Ctrl+N
  Adds a new record to the current getin/getout database. The perm number of the new record defaults to the currently displayed formation so that in most cases only the text and private indicator need to be specified.
• Edit selected record  Ctrl+E
  Edits fields within the currently highlighted record. Double-clicking on a row within the grid also invokes this editor.
• View selected record
  Opens the View a record window for the highlighted record.
• Copy text to clipboard  Ctrl+T
  Copies the text of the record to the Windows clipboard.
• Remove from list  Ctrl+R
  Removes the selected records from the grid. Records are not deleted, but are simply no longer displayed within the grid.
• Toggle delete nbsp;Ctrl+D
  Toggles the delete status of selected records between deleted and not-deleted. Deleted records reside in the database until the database is sorted. Records marked as deleted are permanently removed from the database when the database is sorted.
• Proofread  F12
  Attempts to proofread the highlighted record.
  • For getin records, the program checks that when starting from a squared set and executing the highlighted calls, the dancers end in the displayed ending formation.
  • For getout records, the program checks that when starting from the displayed formation and executing the highlighted calls, a valid resolution results.
  After proofreading, the proofread status of the highlighted record is updated to a 'Yes' or "no' as appropriate. The proofread status is located under the text box in the upper R-H corner immediately following 'Proofread ='.
• Proofread Snippet [Graphics]  F8
• Parse
  Parses the currently highlighted record.
• Close  Ctrl+Q
  Closes this window, returning to the previous window.

Find

• Database
  Changes the current database. This is a very useful feature: if for example, you are searching a getout database for a specific perm number and find a particularly good getout, you can use this menu option to change to a getin database and select a matching getin record in order to write an 'opening biggie'.
• Change search criteria
  Changes the search criteria for the currently displayed records.
• Previous perm #  F1
  Changes the current perm number to the preceding perm number within the current database, and does a search for that perm number.
• Next perm #  F12
  Changes the current perm number to the following perm number within the current database, and does a search for that perm number.

Grid

• Customize
  Opens the Grid - Customize window.

Use

Use increments one of the count fields within the record. The count fields indicate the number of times that the getin/getout record was used within your sequences.

• Use normally
  Prompts for the 'Level used at', and then increments the 'Use count' of the current record by 1. The 'Use count' is intended to count how many times the record was used within your sequences.
• Use as quickie  Ctrl+K
  Increments the 'Quickie count' of the current record by 1. The 'Quickie count' is intended to count how many times the record was used within an 'opening biggie'.
