PianoCheater - Dialogs
PianoCheater has a bunch of weird little dialogs... (pop up editing screens)
________________________________________________________________________________
Edit SongList dialog...
left list is current songlist.
right list is songs in your repertoire - for piano practice
search edit box and rating checkboxes are used by Find to narrow down the
songs in the top level dir (and subdirs) you picked.
? rating means any non a/b/c/x rating - like space or "undefined" rating.
________________________________________________________________________________
Song Statistics edit dialog... (from Edit SongList dialog)
a good place to put practicing notes, etc.
PianoCheater automatically stamps the song with which days you practiced.
Although you can edit here manually, too.
These stats are quilted into a nice repertoire report.
Also, revisit parameter will determine which days the song is marked
with "ToDo!" in your practice songlist.
________________________________________________________________________________
Edit SectionList dialog...
A "Marker" control event (edit them with Tinkerer) marks off where
each section of a song starts.
This screen lets you order sections and dup sections to make repeats, etc.
________________________________________________________________________________
Rate song/sound dialog...
Song fields...
These format up the song's filename
Artist: group/artist who wrote/performed/made song famous
Rating: a,b,c,x,{space},d (click dropdown for descriptions)
Song: song title
Lyrics: y/n tacks on _lyr to filename for y
Sound fields...
(If you're on a track on a soundfont device)
These format up the sound's filename (of the current track)
Dir: GenMidi sound group (or a dir you type in) to categorize sound
(Are sounds a PAIN to categorize or WHAT!!!)
Rating: a,b,c,d (click dropdown for descriptions)
Sound: sound's name
When you rate a sound that's in the Device\soundfont\_ dir or
soundfont\Drum\_ dir,
PianoCheater assumes you'll be moving it into the main
Device\soundfont\+ or SFont\Drum\+ dir.
And after you've moved it, will start the dialog again with the next sound.
This makes it MUCH easier to kill off and rate ALL the sounds in those
consarn .SF2 files :)
________________________________________________________________________________
Right click track sound to get the "edit track name and sound" dialog...
It consists of
Track: track name (1st char of it picks channel and can't be mod'd)
Sound: pick from the big ole list - easier than using midi keyboard
