Preferences - Call Execution

Next Tab

Activate all dancers after each line
- When checked, all dancers are set to active status after each line of text is executed.
  For example, if the first line of a sequence is Heads Right & Left Thru, and the second line is Boys Run.
  - When checked, everybody does the Boys Run;
  - When not checked, only the Heads do the Boys Run.
- Warning: not checking this option can produce undesirable effects.
  For instance, from Parallel Waves with Girls in the Center... If a line of text is "girls trade" and the next line is "recycle", the program will attempt to do a "girls box recycle" because the girls are the active dancers.
Try center 4
- When checked, if a call can not be executed from the current position, the program tries activating the center 4 dancers.
  For example: after a Ferris Wheel, the next call is Swing Thru.
  - When checked, Centers do the Swing Thru;
  - When not checked, a 'call not found' error occurs.
- It is recommended that this option not be checked.
  Unexpected results may occur if a call is not found in the snapshot database, but the call 'Center 4 do the call' is.
Check for potential illegal calls
- When checked, a message box appears if a call might be illegal.
  For instance, if you try to do a 8-dancer call with a 4-dancer concept (e.g., Rotary Swing The Fractions, or Triple Box Percolate)
Check for gratuitous concepts
- When checked, a message box appears if a concept might be gratuitous. That is, the same ending result occurs whether or not the concept was used.
  For instance: Stable Walk & Dodge; Tandem Alter The Wave.
