Ceder Square Dance System (CSDS) ==> Choreography

Entering a Call
I have a question about entering a call. I have the following situation.

Zero Line - Pass The Ocean - Single Hinge- Centres Walk & Dodge:

From here I want to call "Girls Work As Couples, (All) Cast A Shadow".

The program trips over this entry. Is there a way to enter this currently, or should I use the "Call Not Found -- Add It?" function to tell it what I want?

Yes, you will need to enter a new snapshot.

Please remove the word "All" out of parentheses, as future versions Of CSDS might require this. (e.g., use "Girls Work As Couples All Cast A Shadow")

When you get to the "Call Not Found, Add It" window, Do the following:

  1. The token list (upper R-H corner) will say "Girls BEING OWNED", so press the "8 Dancers" button (lower right) to sequence to the next possibility with 8 dancers.
  2. The token list should now read correctly. Press the "Process or Add" button to enter a new snapshot.
  3. Using the mouse (left click and hold) drag a dancer to their ending position, then right-click once within the dancer icon near where you want their facing direction.
  4. Repeat step 4 until all dancers have been moved.
  5. If you desire, you can set the "Roll" attribute of the Head Man to "Right".
  6. When done, close the window. You will be prompted whether to "Save changes to record". Answer "Yes".
  7. The "Enter Mirror Name of Call" window appears. Since it's the same name, click "OK" to proceed.
  8. You've been returned to the "Call Not Found, Add It" window. Press the "OK" button to exit.
