Entering Calls

The usual thing you do when writing a sequence is to select calls, perhaps preceded by one or more concepts. You can select concepts and calls separately, or, if using the completing reader, type concepts and calls together. That is, you can type the entire "line".

You should be aware that a number of modifier words like cross, left, and grand are treated as concepts by Sd and Sdtty. While concepts don't officially exist below the Advanced program, Sd and Sdtty consider words such as these to be concepts. When typing things in, this generally makes no difference. Because of the way the program operates, you can just type the call, with whatever concepts or modifier words it has, in the natural way. For example, you could type:

grand swing thru ENTER

or:

centers cross run ENTER

In a few cases, either because a concept has a complex structure (e.g., checkpoint), or because an utterance is ambiguous (e.g., doing 1/2 of a stable swing thru vs. doing a 1/2 stable swing thru), it is necessary to type concepts by themselves, pressing ENTER after each one. This will be discussed further in section Entering Concepts.

When using Sd and selecting things with the mouse, you will usually not see full combinations listed in the menu. For example, there is no item grand swing thru. The menu would be too unwieldy if such things were listed separately. Instead, all concepts, modifier words, and calls are listed separately in the menus. To get a grand swing thru with mouse clicks, click on grand and then swing thru.
