- Readme for MusicManIII V3.00 Beta2 (c)1991-1996 Andreas Mair
- ************************************************************
-
- This is only a BETA release of MusicManIII.
- Currently there is only unformated (pre-released) documentation
- and no online help available.
- Only german and english program (via locale.library) and
- documentation available. If anyone wants to build catalogs
- for not included languages please contact me to get more infor-
- mation about this. Note: Everyone translating the catalog AND
- documentation to an unincluded language get registration for FREE!
- Not all requesters are implemented yet:
- - Project/Create MC
- - Project/Export
- - Project/Import
- - Record/Copy
- - Record/CD player (is under development)
- - File/Create/#?
- - File/Save/#?
- - File/Manager (a little bit)
- - Macros/#?
- All other functions are FULLY operable!
-
- This beta release lacks an installer too.
-
-
- The final release of MMIII V3.00 will include:
- - documentation (maybe only a printed edition which
- you may order while registering?)
- - online help in english and german
- - installer script in english and german
- - less bugs (are there any?)
- - more features (ARexx-Port etc.)
-
- ************************************************************
-
- MusicManIII V3.00 is SHAREWARE. So what you got here is only
- a limited DEMO. If you want to know what limitations there
- are you'd better start MusicManIII and select "Project/About/
- Distribution" because it depends on the installed key-file.
- If you want to register yourself as an user of MMIII I ask
- you to wait until the final 3.00 release is available (I
- suggest you use the time in between to check if it satisfies
- your needs). Prices etc. will be available by then.

- Some notes on usage
- ===================
- (you'd better read full docu for detailed information)
-
- I think (and hope) that mostly MusicManIII is self-explai-
- ning. The only important thing is that if you want to add
- a new record by selecting "Record/Create" you have to take
- care of following things:
- After selecting this item the "Interpreter:" entryfield
- is active. Press TAB or CursorDown to jump to the next
- entryfield. Or press Shift+TAB or CursorUp to jump to
- the previous entryfield. When you've you data in the
- entryfields press RETURN (or ESC is you want to lose
- changes made to the current entryfield) to switch to the
- songs entryfields (the big ListView-Gadget). Here you
- are able to add songs if you press TAB to get to the
- next song line. Press RETURN to leave the current song
- line and to NOT add songs anymore. Leaving a song line
- means that you edited the song, the length and the bpm
- (this depends on you prefs because you can disable
- entering of length and bpm).
- Please note that songs will always be added if you leave
- the last song line with the TAB-key!
-
- Btw: the songs ListView-Gadget contains 5 columns (left to
- right):
- - Number
- The number of the songs. Holds colour for marking too.
- - Song name
- - Song length
- or Counter in MC mode, depending on your prefs.
- - BPM (Beats per minute)
- - Special field
- anything you want. Not supported yet!!!

-
- I hope you like MusicManIII V3.00 and you give me some feedback
- because one can only say it's rubbish if (s)he told the
- author what (s)he disliked and the author didn't care for that.
