How to - Write A Sequence (*** OLD ***)

Writing a sequence:

There are two modes for writing a sequence: graphics mode and text mode.

  1. In graphics mode, dancer icons are displayed and updated as calls are added/deleted from the sequence. Several options are available such as searching for calls that can be done from the current position, and searching for resolves from the current position (8-dancer choreography only).
     
  2. In text mode, the screen becomes one large edit box and a few buttons. No dancer icons are displayed.

See Sequence - Special Characters.

Notes:
  • Each line of text must have an even number of "%"s and an even number of "$"s.
  • The parentheses "(" and ")" as well as "[" and "]" must be properly matched.
  • An indented line is considered a continuation of the preceding line. Indentation is used to continue the call on the next line.

Example of sequence text:
%Heads% Right & Left Thru & %1/4 More%,
%Sides% Half Sashay,
As Couples Scoot & Weave,
[As Couples Spin The Top & %Roll%],
Double Pass Thru,
Peel & Trail, %New Ends Roll%,
Split Square Thru %On 3% Grand Swing Thru $Double$,
Explode %And% Touch 1/4,
Split Circulate %1 & 1/2% (check Diamonds),
%6 By 2 Acey Deucey%,
Flip The Diamond & %Roll%,
Eight Chain 5,
