Useful Links for Beginners
Please add links in the comments and I’ll get to placing them into the document. We’re looking for honest to goodness HELP for those that are beginning to learn how to do drill. It’s a frequently-enough asked question that it needs to have a databank we can link to in the group. REALLY BASIC (i.e. “...

Re: Increase the Transition Time for only some group
Make two tabs:
1. Point A, when group A stops.
2. Point B, 16 counts later, when Group B stops.
On Point A, you move that group only. THEN spread your anchors to Point B and do the move.
You'll get a note saying that you're doing something naughty across page tabs if you did it correctly.

Re: Instruments
If you make a bunch of "propformers" in Version 9, you can then have them snap into the field on the first beat that you need them. It's not like you need to worry about how fast the instruments are running on, because they're dropped on said beat.

Re: Am I missing tools?
You can accomplish the exact same thing with the rotate tool. The box is simply where the pivot point will be for the turn. I typically don't use Parade Gate unless there's a significant reason why it's needed.

Re: Compatibility
Go to "Save As" and at the very bottom is a drop down menu. Choose Version 7 from that menu and it will open under that version or later.
NOTE: I think every save needs to be done as a "save as" save or else it tries to write it as a Version 9 file.

Re: Side stepping
If the performers face a certain direction, which is usually the front for show/corps bands, then sidestepping should be happening in Real View.
You can get this happening with the facings tool. Click the red flag in your menu bar and search through there for it.

Maybe it's looking for the Java directory? Since it's brand new, said directory probably isn't there. Go to https://java.com/en/ to download the current Java.

Re: Rotating Panels
Yes, but you need Version 9. If you have this, you can turn them into a "Propformer," basically a performer wearing a giant prop. Said propformer then rotates using the facing tool to reveal the new side. PS--Be absolutely sure you're following the US Flag Code ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United...

UPDATE
Older versions will run if you install the old MRJ Java. This is 100% unsupported, though, both by Pyware and by Apple. So go into Sierra knowing that you're unsupported.

Re: Mac OS Sierra Compatibility
Over at MacRumors, they did get the old MRJ package to at least install. I'm not entirely sure about RUNNING correctly, but it can be installed. The issue becomes whether or not it will be recognized when the old versions of Pyware make the exact system call for the MRJ Java package. See: http://for...

YES, you can do it, but you won't like how you have to do it. I will typically "ghost" an extra beat, especially with odd number measures/phrases. Then I plan for a one-beat stop that winds up being two due to the extra "ghost beat." They can go back without leading with their right foot. In this ca...

Re: Performer Difficulty
Unless we're all willing to sit down and work out visual elements, like artistic and rhythmic gymnastics does already, I don't think this is going to happen. I'm not saying this is a terrible idea. Quit the opposite! I'd rather see something like this over some of the current marching judging we have.

Re: Visual Editor Question
You can undo it, but it involves going to the moment where the visual begins/ends and undoing it at that point using the same tool. For instance, if you have an upper body pose, you will need to go back to that exact upper body tool and redo it to a default or to the move you like better.
