Chapter 9: GUI Enhancements
42
The User menu (abbreviation for User-Style) has been moved to the Styles
menu. The Styles menu now contains the StyleMaker menu items, including the
new Style Wizard.
Right click on the Chordsheet screen or Notation window and a context menu
appears. This is another way to launch the Preferences dialog or other items.
Descriptive Hints added throughout the program.
We've added much more detail to the yellow window flyby hints that appear
when you move over an item. Also added are many new hints for the dialog
boxes and various windows. You can set the hints to display none, basic or
detailed information.
On program boot up, the current directory will get set to the last directory
used in the previous session. This option is set in the Opt. | Preferences |
Prefs2 dialog.
Custom File Dialog Enhancements. The custom file dialog can be opened by
Ctrl+Shift+F3 or by F3 if you choose “Long Filenames – custom” in the
Options | Preferences | Prefs2 “Display Filenames:” selection box. Now there
are hot keys for the Search Dialog (Alt+S), Favorite Folders (Alt+F), and Font
selection (Alt+N). Double clicking in the favorite directories window now exits
the dialog.
Many new hot keys added.
Examples include hot keys for Chord Builder (Ctrl+Shift+B), Song Settings
(Ctrl+N), Preferences (Ctrl+E), song transpose by +1/-1 (Ctrl+Alt+ 5 or
Ctrl+Alt+ 6) and many more. The TAB key now advances around the
Chordsheet (like the right cursor key), and Shift+TAB functions like the left
cursor key. For entering chords like “Cm+” you no longer have to type an
uppercase for the “+” you can type the lowercase “=” and the program will enter
a Cm+.
