This program requires Acrobat Reader ver.7; 8; or 9 installed at the computer. Get it from here.

The user interface in this program is an Acrobat Reader window where all menus, toolbars, etc. have been removed. Only the text field left!

To navigate the viewer only the numeric keypad is required which in some situations is desirable.
E.g. the gigging musician who use a computer screen to display sheet music will feel comfortable using only a numeric keyboard to operate this.

The keys at the normal keyboard ( figures 0-9; / * + - ) can be used for navigation as well.

Guide: How to connect and setup a Foot Switch to operate this program.

The view can be modified in several ways:

Tyros 2 and a (hidden) computer with screen and a numeric key pad attached.		Fit to screen
		Two page view

A complete list of commands: "Go to Page"; "Go to Previous Page"; "Go to Next Page"; "Zoom"; "Fit to screen horisontally"
and many more commands are supplied in the help file in the program. Or get the help file here.

Commands to navigate and modify display

There are three methods for selecting a music sheet (pdf file) for display in the viewer main window:
• Opening a music sheet from the Sheet List
• Opening a music sheet from a Play List
• Opening a music sheet from the File List
These three methods can be used side by side in the program.

1. Opening a music sheet from the Sheet List
An infinite number of music sheets (pdf files) can be added to the Sheet List.
And even individual sheets in fake book collections can be added.
Displaying a sheet from Sheet List only requires a few keystrokes; e.g. "/2" and "Enter" to open sheet no. 2.

The Sheet List is maintained in the Sheet List Editor.

2. Opening a music sheet from a Play List
In the program the user can create up to 99 Play Lists, each holding an infinite number of music sheets.
When opening a Play List the first sheet in this list will be displayed. Type e.g. "0002" and "Enter" to open play list no. 2 at the first sheet.
Going forwards - or backwards - in the list only requires a few keystrokes; e.g. "01" and "Enter" to go to previous sheet and "02" and "Enter" to go to next sheet.
The Play Lists are visible in the left side panel in the main Window - opened by "00" and "Enter".
The sheets in the selected play list are visible in the right side panel in the main Window - opened by "03" and "Enter".

The Play Lists are maintained in the Play Lists Editor.

3. Opening a music sheet from the All Lists Window
The view in this window can be:
- all Sheets
- all Play Lists
- sheets in selected Play List

Open a sheet by typing the row number followed be the column number; and hit the Enter key. E.g. 45 + Enter to open 'Blue Eyes'... Simple...?

4. Opening a music sheet from the File List
Using this method to open a sheet (pdf file) is much like opening a file in a normal computer system.
But unlike the "normal" method you can use the few keys mentioned above to find and load sheets from your disc drive(s).

The Music Book Viewer can be operated using the numeric key pad only.
But notice that the editors can not be operated using the numeric key pad only.

The gigging musician will have to prepare the sheet list and the play lists when he prepares his performance.
While performing he can call a pdf sheet using one of the three metods described above.
