Select Dances is the "menu"
of all your dances. This is where you choose a dance to play, to
add to a playlist, or to update. Also where the Advanced Edition
shows you when you have done each dance in the past 6 months.
The Playlist screen allows you arrange
the dances you have selected into a balanced program. You can shuffle
them as you please, check the details of any one, remove those that
don't fit into the program, insert markers to indicate breaks (or
square dance tips), and save the program to your hard disk. With
the Advanced Edition you
can print the program, too.
The Dance Log (available
in the advanced edition) will show you what dances you cued,
and when and where you cued them. You'll probably be surprised at
how handy this is.
The Play / Preview screen is where
you read the cue card, set the playback speed, set bookmarks, adjust
the voice/music balance and - oh, yeah - play the dance.
The Dance Details screen is where
you add new dances to the database, or make corrections and other
changes to the existing ones. The small cue sheet display is there
just to confirm that you have the right one attached, NOT to cue
from!
