C⊗;
	Any motive may be made to go in retrograde motion by inserting
a minus sign after the "@". The retrograde feature may be used in conjunction
with the number feature just explained.

	Z(C4/D/EF/C)/@-Z3; At "*" the string F/AF/G/F will occur.
                     *↑
 
	Y(Q/E/)/@-Y.5; Here the motive will repeat as S//E/.
	              (Half the time values and backwards.)
	              
	With notes only inversions of motives are possible by inserting
the dollar sign ($). Again, this will be a visual, not necessarily a musical
inversion. All accidentals will remain unchanged.
 
	D(C4/D/EF/C)/@$D/@$D4;
	             *↑
 
	At "*" the notes will be C4/B3/AF/C4/. Then we will have G4/F/EF/G/.
 
	Retrograde may be used with inversion, but be very careful to check
your results.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
	All the sorts of material entered under "IN" by typing directly to
the MS program can instead be assembled in external edit files and then 
entered by file name. For longer, more complicated lines of input this has
several advantages.  The main advantage is that when errors occur (and they will!)
you simply go back to your edit file to make the corrections and then resubmit
the file to MS. With "IN" you will find that errors often require that all the
data be retyped.
	To utilize score input from an edit file type READ NAME <CR> where NAME
is any upper case file name of no more than 5 letters. Used in its most usual
way READ will be completely automatic. There will be no prompts unless errors are 
detected. The first line of the edit file will contain some of the information
gained from the prompts when using "IN". This first line should be or the form:
 
	*n1 n2 n3 n4 n5
 
n1 will be the number of the spacing staff. This can be the number of any staff
   where there is as yet no input if it is to be ignored.
 
n2 is the number of the staff where this section of input is to go.
 
n3 and n4 are the left and right position limits (POS1 and POS2). In n4=0 it
   becomes the default value of 2OO.
 
n5 will invoke the pseudo-Fibonacci spacing system if it is set to 1.
 
	Note that if there are notes on the designated spacing staff (n1) then
n3, n4, and n5 will be ignored. When "*" is used n1 and n2 must always appear.
All further lines entered with "IN" or "READ" will conform to the spacing on 
staff n1 unless staff n1 is deleted or some new n1 is given or "SP" is typed,
followed by some new number.
	After this first line the data in a file will be in the same form as
if it were typed directly to MS.
 
	(NOTES)......;
	(RHYTHMS)....;
	(MARKS)......;
	(BEAMS)......;
	(SLURS)......;
 
	Several lines may be used for each of the catagories of input. As usual,
the last line must end with a semicolon and the earlier lines with slashes.
Anything appearing after a semicolon or after the last slash on a line will be
ignored by MS. Comments are to be no entries for MARKS (or BEAMS, or SLURS) a
semicolon alone should appear.
	If the above mentioned first line, beginning with a "*" is not
used, the program will ask you for the neccessary information.  Several
lines of music may be assembled in one edit file.  For each line of music
all five catagories of input must be accounted for and, to avoid extra
typing later, each set of input should be preceded by a "*" line.  With
READ the staff lines will not appear automatically.  They must be entered 
in advance, using code 8.
	In the following example all keystrokes will be indicated.  The 
first part refers to the ET editor.  The last part will continue on to
new commands on saving the input and printing a proof on the XGP.  If any
errors are found fix them and take up sequence wherever possible.  To the
far right some comments are given.  Do not type these.

- Saving you work -
	Just before exiting from the MS program with <CALL> (see above),
SA NTS<CR> was typed.  This bad the effect of saving a file, with the name
NTS.DMD, which contained all the parameter information for the notes, etc.
appearing on the screen.  Also saved was information about any motives
which were defined. (The name extension .DMD refers to dump mode reading
and writing.)  Following are the various ways the display parameters can be 
saved.
SA NAME		NAME can be any name using up to 5 letters.  It is good to
		get into the habit of using 5 letter names where the last 
		letter is to be used to establish an alphabetic order of
		separate files.  This will be required when preparing
		sequences of files to be rean by the MP and PACE programs.
		A sequence of names might be PAG1A, PAG1B, PAG1C, etc.
SB NAME		SB means SAVE BIG.  In this case up to 4000 words of information
		concerning the actual display vectors is saved along with the
		parameters for each item.  The advantage here is that a file 
		saved in this way will be displayed very much faster when it 
		is read back into MS.  (The particular vectors need not be 
		recomputed.)  A disadvantage is that such files use up much
		more disk storage space.
SM		SM means do SB with the same NAME as was last mentioned.
		It is always a good idea to save your work often.  (You may
		make ghastly mistakes, the computer may stop unexpectedly, etc.)
