There are several commands that change some aspect of the way Sd
or Sdtty runs. They are:
toggle singlespace mode toggle concept levels toggle active phantoms toggle retain after error toggle nowarn mode toggle singleclick mode toggle minigrand getouts toggle singing call toggle reverse singing call
Normally, all of these are off.
You may want to turn one or more of them on for your own personal
preference, or for some special reason. These commands toggle their
respective modes. That is, they turn the mode on if it was off, and
off if it was on. The current status of some of these
modes is always displayed
in the input prompt in Sdtty, or the status bar at the bottom
in Sd.
The toggle singlespace mode command changes
the format of the output file between single spacing and double
spacing. The default is double spacing. This command affects
only future sequences. It has no effect on sequences already written.
The toggle concept levels command changes the legality of concepts
that are not on the specified calling level. See section Entering Concepts,
and section Using Off-Level Concepts.
The toggle active phantoms command changes the persistence of
phantoms during certain calls. See section Assume Waves.
We do not recommend using this. It may make the program refuse
to do things that real dancers consider completely legal, due to
phantoms colliding with or otherwise interfering with live dancers.
Instances in which this option is needed are nearly unheard-of.
The toggle retain after error command changes the option whereby
program retains the concepts that you had typed when an error occurs.
See section Retaining Concepts After an Error.
The toggle nowarn mode command changes the suppression
of warning messages.
The toggle singleclick mode changes the acceptance of single
mouse clicks on menu items.
The toggle singing call commands change the singing call mode,
which affects resolves.
See section Singing Call Progressions.
The toggle minigrand getouts command changes the search
for "mini-grand" getouts in the resolver. See section Mini-Grand Getouts.
Any of these modes, except the singing call modes, can be turned on automatically when the program begins, either by giving a command-line option (see section Command-Line Options) or through the use of the initialization file (see section Option Control).
