Sequence - View

The Sequence View window displays a single sequence at a time. It is intended to be used with a laptop for calling sequences at a dance. Keystrokes (defined below) allow you to change the sequence database, display a specific sequence from the current database, display the previous or next sequence from the current database, scroll the sequence text forward or backward, and jump to the first line or last line of the sequence.

The screen consists of several parts:

1) The window title contains the name of the sequence being viewed. 2) The top of the screen has the primary menu (described later below). 3) The next line of the screen contains the following: • The date that the sequence was last modified. • The parse status: 'NOT parsed' indicates that the sequence has not been successfully parsed; 'Parsed as X' indicates the sequence was successfully parsed where 'X' is the level determined from the parse. • The proofread status: 'Proofread' if the sequence has been proofread, or 'NOT Proofread'. • Star marks the sequence as being extra special. When checked, stars are added at the top of the sequence when the sequence is printed in normal mode, indicating that it is a very good sequence. • In print list, when checked, the sequence is placed within the print list. 4) The sequence text is displayed in the large white box. The following keystrokes are helpful: Home (or PgUp) scrolls the sequence so that the first line of the sequence is displayed at the top of the screen. • End (or PgDn) scrolls the sequence so that the last line of the sequence is displayed at the bottom of the screen. • Up-arrow scrolls the sequence up one line. • Down-arrow scrolls the sequence down one line. • F1 displays the previous sequence in the same database. • F2 displays the next sequence in the same database. 4) The lower left corner of the screen shows the dates information (if available) for the current sequence. This shows when and where the sequence was used. Change • P revious sequence F1 displays the previous sequence in the database. • N ext sequence F2 displays the next sequence in the database. • First record in database Ctrl+F1 displays the first sequence within the database. • Last record in database Ctrl+F2 displays the last sequence within the database. • C hange database and/or index F5 prompts you to change the current database and/or sequence index. This menu option can be skipped by simply typing a record number followed by the Enter key. Display modifies the screen display. • C hange font changes the font name and font size of the font used to display the sequence text. • Underline and bold, when checked, processes the percent-sign ("%") and dollar-sign ("$") characters for extra emphasis. • Display dates, when checked, displays the dates and locations of when the sequence was used. This information is displayed in the lower R-H corner. Edit (Section 7.3) edits the sequence in text mode. Other • Delete this sequence Ctrl+D deletes the current sequence, after confirmation. • Parse this sequence Ctrl+P parses the current sequence. See Section 5.2, which is similar. • Proofread this sequence F12 attempts to proofread the current sequence. Exit exits this screen. 77
