Speed Note Reading Tutor - WINDOWS
Q: The video game won't play.
A: Are you sure that you're using the version of the game that is appropriate
for your computer's operating system? A version specifically for Macintosh operating
systems is included in the "Speed Note Reading Tutor - MACINTOSH" folder
of this CD-ROM.
Q: I have a large monitor. Is there any way I can increase the size of the
video game?
A: Absolutely! The video game was designed to be "scaleable", but
is forced to open in a window that will fit all monitors.
To increase the size of the game, simply click the "maximize" button in the title bar.
Q: I copied the game to my hard drive, but it won't play.
A: If you'd like to keep a copy of the game on your computer, make sure that
you copy the ENTIRE FOLDER to your drive - the "notelists" folder
must reside in the same folder as the application.
Remember that the game is under copyright restrictions. The owner may freely use the game on as many computers as he or she likes, but you are restricted to having only ONE game running at any time (in other words, don't make copies and hand out to your friends! This keeps us from the ability to develop more games in the future).
Q: I've got some great ideas on how to improve this game!
A: So do we! Sure, we'd love to have the keys play actual pitches, be midi-compatible
so that you can use a keyboard instead of the mouse, have a version for bass
clef, etc. etc. Remember - this is a free game... which was included without
raising the price of the book. We don't have an unlimited budget to produce
a video game that rivals those which cost $20 and sell to millions of customers!
We'll get updating the video game with more features in the future as budget
allows. If you do have other ideas, please feel free to let us know!
