Navigation

A wheel mouse is recommended as the easiest means of navigation. Failing that, a conventional mouse, notebook touchpad, or even just the keyboard will suffice.

Scroll and Pan

Dragging the scrollbars provides a quick means of scrolling. Rotating the scroll wheel scrolls the screen up or down. Dragging the mouse with the scroll wheel depressed causes the screen to follow the mouse around. Using the keyboard, Cursor Left, Right, Up, Down; Page Up, Down; Home and End are all operational.

Zoom

There are five levels of zoom reduction from 1:1 to 5:1. Depressing and rotating the scroll wheel zooms the image in and out. [+] and [-] on the numeric keypad also control zoom and these functions are duplicated on the F5 and F6 keys for the benefit of notebook users.

Help Screen

The F1 key brings up a basic help screen including the version number.

Lyrics Display Modes

For Bi-Colour files, the F2 key sequences through three display modes: Notes and Lyrics, Notes only and Lyrics only.

Flip Image

F3 flips the image alternately upside down and back again.

Coordinates Display

The left mouse button pops up a window displaying the scan coordinates at the mouse cursor position. The note zero offset can be read directly from the X coordinate of the sustain pedal track. For highest accuracy the viewer should be zoomed fully in.

The crossover point and vertical separation for a twin array file can be determined from the two sets of coordinates of any hole falling within the overlap region.
