Because the program is so literal-minded, it sometimes doesn't understand how to do things that are in fact very easy for callers to express and for dancers to do. In some cases, the necessary sophistication lies in some concept that is legal only at high challenge levels.
When such a situation arises, you can tell the program to permit the use of concepts that would not normally be legal.
The toggle concept levels command toggles
(turns on or off) the state of this option.
See section Changing Modes. It can also be turned on 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).
If you have a line of 6 (or 8) people, and you want them to do a `1/2 tag',
use the 3x3 (or 4x4) concept. Of course, if you were calling
Mainstream, you wouldn't say `3x3 1/2 tag'. You would presumably say
something like `line of 6 in the center, 1/2 tag'.
If you want people to do something (e.g., `diamond circulate') around the outside,
you may need to use the disconnected concept. For example, if
you had waves with the boys on the ends, and you had just done a
`1/2, acey deucey', the boys have a big diamond around the outside.
You can't just do a BOYS diamond circulate, because the
<ANYONE> concept is extremely fussy.
See section Designating Certain People. The way to do this is with
BOYS DISCONNECTED diamond circulate. This concept is only
legitimate at C2, so you will need toggle concept levels below that.
You would presumably say something like `boys diamond circulate around
the outside'.
Whenever you use an off-level concept, a warning will be printed in the transcript. You should read such a card using whatever words are appropriate to get the dancers through the action that you intend.
