Right/Left Foot Lead

Post by dpcook » Sun Aug 21, 2016 3:26 pm

Hi all,

This may be a dumb question....is it possible to change which foot the animated marchers begin with? It seems in all my animations they always begin with a right foot stepoff rather than left. (Was Dustin a Cadet?)

Thanks!!

I am sorry, there is no setting to change the way the feet fall.

We have the request on the list to have added.
Thank you

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 case, you'll have to ghost a beat in there before the right step off (make 10,000% sure to note this on directions or else you'll have unhappy band directors).
I enjoy charting military drills. Let me know if you need any assistance with one of them.
