If a call that you believe is legal does not appear on the menu,
click on allow modifications. This will bring up the universal call
menu. You can then thrash out which of you or the computer is correct.
The program sometimes gives non-fatal warnings about calls. These are intended principally as advice to you, the user of the program, that the call you have just entered may not be a reasonable thing to call. It is not necessarily the case that reading the warning aloud when calling the sequence is the correct thing to do, though it might be. The call might simply be inappropriate, or it might be wise to say something along the lines of "be careful; everyone do your part." The significance of a warning may also depend on the level. Some things that are extremely peculiar but barely legal at high challenge levels are simply not done at lower levels. You should use your judgement.
Warning: The database is not without errors or misunderstandings in nonstandard uses of calls. The program generally tries to be extremely conservative. However, you should not blindly accept what the program does, particularly if a call was used in an unusual way. The management will not be responsible for any sequences left unattended.
Warning: Some combinations of things that seem obvious to the program might not be agreed to by the dancers. Particularly at high challenge levels, some things are controversial. Proceed with caution. Unless you agree wholeheartedly with what the program did, and believe that the dancers will also agree, it may be best not to do it. Don't stack outrageous interrupts and replacements, with concepts going every which way, unless you are prepared to explain yourself at the end of the tip.
Warning: The program's notion of levels is only keyed to concepts and calls, not to concept/call combinations, and not to calls in the context of certain setups. For example, since split and square thru are both Mainstream, it thinks that split square thru is Mainstream, even though it is A1. Also, chain reaction should only be used from a normal 1/4-tag setup at A1, but the program doesn't know this.
For debugging, there is a hidden level called all, which is above
C4. At this level, even the invisible calls that are used in the
definitions of other calls are legal. They typically begin with an
underscore. Also, when the all level is selected, all
sequentially-defined calls are fractionalizable, even if they aren't in
practice.
With the X Window System interface, the font for the text output window must be fixed-width so the formation pictures are legible. If you do not get this by default, set this X resource:
Sd*text*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-*-*-*-c-70-iso8859-1
