Screen-only Records


New with version 2.50, a Fingering record can have an "s" in the "Display/Hide/Report" indicator (now called simply the "Display" indicator) - the column following the sequence number (see F Record - Full-Specification for the layout of the most common Fingering record). What this means is that the record should appear on the screen display, but should not appear in any Report that is produced.

This is primarily intended for use with Message F records (see F Record - Message), to prevent text which makes sense on the screen from being placed in the report. For example, Supplied file - NORMTRIL.TXT has Message records that say "See next page (FWRD>> button) for alternate half-step above trill." This makes little sense on a report. So, these records have an "s" in the Display indocator, to prevent them from appearing on a report. They are complemented by Report-only Records that read "Alternate half-step above trill:".

You can use the "s" on any F record. For example, if you used it on a regular fingering record (see F Record - Full-Specification), the recorder fingering would appear on the screen, but a textual fingering layout would not appear on the report.
