Show Large Text Panel Checkbox

If this box is checked, the programs display widens to the right to show the Large Text Panel. This panel is used to display text information in a larger font than normally used by the program. The default is to not show the panel, but can be changed by using an option in the Preferences dialog.
The reason for this is that with todays high resolution monitors, the text used in Recorder Digits can be very small and hard to read. This Large Text Panel gives the user an ability to view text in a larger font for easier reading, merely by clicking an Info button or clicking some descriptive text, while maintaining compatibility with lower-res monitors. Any monitor set to 800x600 and higher can fit the panel on the screen, although it is primarily intended for higher resolution settings.
If you start the program unexpanded and then expand it using the Show Large Text Panel Checkbox, the display will not be centered on the screen. However, if you set Preferences to have the program start in the expanded state, it will be centered.
Text that can be displayed in this box includes the text produced by clicking Info Buttons, any text contained in text boxes associated with Fingerings, or text in the Message Field at the bottom of the screen.
For example, for Info Button display:

Example of Fingering text:

The showing/hiding of the Large Text Panel can also be controlled via the View item on The Menu. It can also be controlled by hitting the letter x on the keyboard.
Note that you would not normally want to use the Info Box (see Info Buttons) when you have the Large Text Panel displayed, although you can.
Sometimes, depending on the size of your default Window's font, text can more than fill the display position and some will not be viewable. If this happens, you can position the system cursor within the text by clicking on the text once with the mouse. After doing so, moving the cursor down will cause the hidden text to scroll into view at the bottom of the position. The Home, End, Ctrl-Home and Ctrl-End keys also function normally.
