Dear dance friends, I'm pleased to announce that "Caller's Companion" - the dance caller's assistant - is now officially available at http://callerscompanion.com I'd especially like to thank Linda Leslie, Bev Bernbaum and Laura Pietravalle, who along with a number of others helped test the beta, catch bugs and made many feature and improvement suggestions.
On the site you can find out more, take a quick tour, watch the Intro movie and download a copy for either Mac or Windows to try out yourself. Caller's Companion is available as a stand-alone application or bundled with a full license of FileMaker Pro 10 (your choice). Features include: * Quick entry buttons (80), customizable to your preferred notation * Fields for Source, Author, Music, Form, Progression, YouTube, user-defined * Link related dances together * Support for dance structures other than just A1, A2, B1, B2 * Set Lists a list of dances for an event incl. Alt dances, assigned callers, start time * Search by for a call within a phrase, e.g., dances with a Petronella balance in B1 * Programming Matrix shows key elements in each dance, and highlights the 1st element * On-Screen calling Large text screen for calling from a laptop * Multiple printed formats for dances and sets * and much more... I hope you like what you see. I look forward to hearing from you all once you¹ve take a look. Will Will Loving Amherst, MA -- William M.
