Info Buttons
 


Some fingerings have additional information associated with them (e.g. how to use the fingering, which trill the fingering is used with, etc). When such info is present, the fingering will display an "Info" button beside it. In order to read this information, click the button. The information will appear in the Message Field at the bottom of the display.

Here is a picture of a fingering with an Info button:


Clicking this button will result in the following being displayed in the message field:


On fingerings that show trills, there is an indicator located directly below the Info button. This is the Trill Position indicator (see Fingerings).

Note names contained in the text can be affected by the Recorder Type and the Enharmonics setting.

The Large Text Panel

Info from the Info Button can also be displayed in the Large Text Panel. See a complete description  in the discussion of the Show Large Text Panel Checkbox.


The InfoBox

By default, doubleclicking an Info button will bring up the InfoBox, a separate display box which shows the fingering plus the text information (an option under the View selection on The Menu allows the user to bring this up using a single click). The text is in a larger font than displayed in the main screen's Message Field. Here is a screen snapshot of the InfoBox:



The InfoBox is intended to display the fingering and text info in an easier to view format, and also to accommodate long Info messages that may not fit in the Message Field. 

In the unlikely event that even the text area on the InfoBox is not large enough to display the full text, you can position the system cursor within the text by clicking on the text once with the mouse. After doing so, moving the cursor down will cause the hidden text to scroll into view at the bottom of the position. You can also mark the text for copying by dragging the mouse over it while holding the left mouse button down. After the text is marked, click the right mouse button and select "Copy" to copy it to the Windows clipboard for pasting somewhere else.
