Re: [LegacyUG] Notes section (3 tabs) - can we have 2 more editing tools

[Cathy Pinner]

Dolores,
For a male lineage you can use Reports > Chart Reports > Lineage.
For other lines and lines between any other two people who are related 
use Tools > Relationship Calculator and see the Print options there.

When you click on Help on the main menu bar a new menu bar appears, on 
which the 6th button is "Request feature."


I use the Notes tabs a lot but I have never found it troublesome to use 
my keyboard to capitalise in the usual way.  In fact, I use the keyboard 
for Bold a lot because it's quicker to do that rather than take my hand 
off the keyboard to use the mouse.


Each to his/her own!

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes & photos re ancestry

[Cathy Pinner]

Your photos stay where they are, on your computer. The gedcom only 
includes the path to them so if the gedcom is used to upload your tree 
to a website or to send to someone else, the media is left behind.

Event Notes seem to go to unnamed source when you upload to Ancestry.
General Notes etc go into the Notes field in Ancestry which can only be 
seen by the tree owner and those invited.

Don,

Tag all the persons with 1 tag then do a search for the tag,
FROM the search results you can scroll thru the persons on the left and see
only their notes by selecting Notes on the right.

Hope that helps

Slight difference from the behaviour in 7.5. In 7.5, an Abandon Changes box
appeared when the Cancel button was clicked, or the Escape key was pressed.
There was no message when clicking the X (close) icon. This is, I think, the
correct behaviour according to MS standards.

Re: [33A-1B07A2C3-040E] Re: [LegacyUG] Notes - Added warning message if notes are edited and then Cancel or X is clicked.

[J.M. Jay Ingalls]

Michele,

I just discovered the new update to Legacy, did that, and then tested
the problem again. On my data base and the sample data base.

Note that I almost always work from the pedigree view, then click on the
person to open, and then on Notes to add or edit them.

Typing in Test and clicking the x or Cancel does not give a
warning message and does not save the new data.

I did get a strange, not the usual warning, with one unintentional test
in the previous version. Apparently the problem is not fixed. I think
that I got numerous messages from Brian saying it was fixed about 10
days ago, but I am quite sure I have deleted his messages. Please pass
this on to Brian.

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes in event sentences

[Paula Ryburn]

I have to agree with you, Cathy.  It was perfectly flexible before this change 
in v8. ;)
At the very least, they could have had it default to checked in the conversion 
to v8.

Hi Paula,
The option to include Event Notes in a Report should stick like other settings. 
If it really isn't, that's a bug. I haven't time to check at the moment but it 
has been sticking.

The rationale? I've never seen a satisfactory one though I can see that being 
able to strip notes in some circumstances is useful. However, I can't imagine 
wanting to do it for all events. So for me, the ability to control them via the 
Event Sentence Definitions was perfect.

good grief. Do I have to check that box every time I ru
n a report? I
hope it is not automatically UNchecked (like that one for printing
pictures in a FGR) every time. This case was more perturbing because I
was using a sentence over-ride to achieve the wording I needed, but
even an over-ride is ignored by the application if that check box is
unchecked. I mean, what?
I'm still wondering what the rationale was for requesting this change...
Thank you for listening. ;)

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes

[Brian/Support]

The swap difficulty with notes is no longer as problem in Legacy 8.
There is still a difficulty transferring between a regular and a vital
event however. The Vital Events have no Description field. To work
around this in Legacy 8 any Description from the regular event is
transferred to the Vital Event Notes as the first line (existing event
notes are appended after this line). If there is any possibility you may
want to switch back do not remove that first line of the vital event
notes. If you later switch the vital event with a regular event the
description will be replaced in the regular event with the contents of
that first line.

In Legacy 7 my testing showed that the notes transfer correctly to the
vital event. It is notes from the vital event that got cut off when they
were transferred to a regular event. This is the opposite of what you
imply in your message. Legacy 7 will not be fixed.

 obscure bug involves the use of “Alt.Event” events such as 
 “Alt.Birth” or “Alt.Death”. For example, whenever I come across such 
 a bit of data that presents an alternate date of birth, I create such an 
 Alt.Birth event and then I use the Notes tab of that alternate event to add 
 my notes or a description of why this date may differ from the main Birth 
 event and other explanations. In a few cases, I’ve had a long text note 
 that came via email and it was copied and pasted into the Notes tab of the 
 alternate event.

 Now, here is where the bug occurs. Imagine that as one’s research 
 continues, you confirm that the alternate event has the correct data but 
 you’d still like to keep the other event just for continued research 
 reasons. Legacy makes it easy for you to just select the Alternate Event, 
 then click on Options, and then select “Swap with Event Information”. 
 Beware! If you have more than 255 characters in your Alternate Event Notes 
 tab, and you swap the events, you will lose all your notes beyond the first 
 255 characters. In other words, the transfer of text is limited to only 255 
 characters. If you can remember this bombshell, I’d suggest you first copy 
 the lengthy notes to the General Notes area, complete the Swap, and then copy 
 the lengthy notes back to where they got cut off.

 I don’t know if this bug still exists in v8 but it was still there in the 
 last v7. Will it ever get fixed? Maybe, but I’m not holding my breath 
 because there seems to be an infestation of other bugs in v8 that are more 
 pressing than this minor issue.

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes

Since Legacy 8 does not lose any user data I do not know why you think
there are more changes needed. The only way data would be lost in
Legacy 8 would be if the user edits the vital event notes to remove the
Event Description: text of the description line(s) from those notes and
then it would be their removal of that text not Legacy which deletes the
data.

RE: [LegacyUG] Notes

Oh, maybe I misunderstood your previous message. I guess I was assuming that 
the same result happened as with v7 under which Legacy did lose data. OK, looks 
like this was fully addressed in v8 but has the one small glitch you mention 
but without losing data.

There were a couple of posts about how many characters/words the notes fields

There are MANY notes fields in Legacy that I think are underutilized.   There 
are birth notes, baptism notes, death notes, burial notes, medical notes, 
location notes, event notes, image notes, marriage notes and marriage event 
notes.



What is nice about these note fields is that they are specific.  If you put 
everything in the General Notes or Research Notes it can get crowded and hard 
to wade through.



In the report options screen, you can tell Legacy to print all of these other 
notes fields in addition to the regular General, Research, Medical notes for

[LegacyUG] Notes in event sentences

[Tony Rolfe]

I have created a few events which need 4 fields rather than the 3
supplied and so I've been using the notes field for one of them.  For
example, I have an Address and Occupation event which uses the Desc
for the occupation, the location for the address and the notes for the
source of the data.

[onDate] [Notes] said that [HeShe] was a [Desc] and that [HeShe] lived
[~inPlace]

On screen the resulting sentence reads perfectly.  However, on the
individual report and on generated web pages, the [Notes] are not
showing.  Instead of:

On 16 Jun 1896 his immigration papers said he was.

I get:

On 16 Jun 1896 said he was...

This happens for all events I have tested so far.

Is it a known bug?

Thanks

Tony

I presume you are using Legacy
8.  Don't know about web pages, but for the Report have you
checked the box for Add Event Notes?  It
  is under Other Options on the Event Options screen, accessed
  via the button on the Include tab in Report Options.

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes in event sentences

[Cathy Pinner]

Hi Tony,

I assume you are using Legacy 8.

In the Report and the Webpage options you need to find the Event
options and make sure Event Notes are ticked for inclusion.

This checkbox overrides the [Notes] in the Event Sentence.

If this doesn't solve your problem, check that the Include Notes
checkbox on the event itself is checked AND the checkbox for notes on
the Event Definition.
In Legacy 8, instead of having just the [Notes] in the Event
Definition, we have a heap of checkboxes in a variety of places.

There is or was a bug if you used the setting at OptionsCustomise
7.10 to put source citation after notes.

[LegacyUG] Notes Problem in V8

[Belinda]

Hello everyone,

Was just wondering if anyone else had any trouble with events notes not
showing in descendant narrative reports? If so I'll report it as a bug, but
if it is just me I may have altered a setting somewhere without realising
it. Although what that setting may be, I don't know.

I use this feature extensively but now in V8 the events are listed in the
reports but the notes have been stripped out. On example I found had a few
blank lines and then the source citation number. Most of the others
stripped the lot.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Belinda

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes Problem in V8

[Ron Ferguson]

Belinda,

They are there for me, so there is not a basic problem.

If you have tried the suggestions made by Kathy and Cathy and you still have 
problems, I would suggest using the Reset Button on the bottom right and try 
again, ensuring, of course, that the boxes which you need are checked.

Hi Belinda,

Legacy 8 is handling notes differently.
[Notes] is no longer in the Event Sentence Definition.

You include Notes or not depending on the setting in Report Options - Include 
Tab - Event  Options button.

In the Events themselves there are checkboxes if you want to include notes. 
They should be checked by default.

Why the change? I never worked it out. It's supposed to be easier apparently.

  Are you certain you have got all the notes boxes ticked in the Report Options 
 Include ?

Hello everyone,Â


Was just wondering if anyone else had any trouble with events notes not

it is just me I may have altered a setting somewhere without realising it. 
Although what that setting may be, I don't know.Â


I use this feature extensively but now in V8 the events are listed in the 
reports but the notes have been stripped out. On example I found had a few 
blank lines and then the source citation number. Most of the others stripped 
the lot.Â


Any help would be greatly appreciated.Â

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes Problem in V8

[Belinda]

Thank you everyone.

I knew it was probably something that I was doing. There was a whole new
section in the Report settings that referred to including the notes. Once I
ticked this box everything returned to normal.

Thanks again.

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes Problem in V8

[Graham Lambert]

Hi All,

I can see a few people having 'notes' problems, but am I the only one
that has lost all my 'General notes' in the Family view. I have L7.5
Deluxe and downloaded L8 standard...the installer wanted to put it in
Program files, so I agreed, even though 7.5 is in 'C' drive. I then went
for the copy file to Program files option...is this where I made my mistake?

Thanks for any help,
Graham

[LegacyUG] Notes Screen Unreadable

[Prescott Smith]

How do you change the background color in the Individual Note section
without changing the main view's color? By Notes screen is black
background, black font=unreadable. It has been this way since installation.
I can see how to change it for the main views, but not for the Notes
screen. Using Win 7, 64-bit.

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes Screen Unreadable

[Sherry/Support]

On our website www.LegacyFamilyTree.com, go to Help Center 
Troubleshooting Help  Solutions by Error Description  Screen
Problems   Black Screens (paraphrasing the last two since I'm not
sure of the exact section - just search the webpage for black

You'll find a solution there, along with a file to download. If you
have Win7 or 8, save the file to the c:\Windows\SysWOW folder (again,
not 100% on the folder name, but there's only one sysWOW folder)

Sorry I'm not in a position to look up what I can't remember!

If you look at the Individual, Family Group, and Chronology reports
you will find numerous inconsistencies and issues. As you point out,
Chronology treats the big 4 (BBDM) pretty well, but the others
disconnect the notes and stuff them at the end. You could try to
create your own BBD events in the IR and FGS but they would double up
in the Chronology report. OK if you use only one or the other but not
a good solution.

If you dig in, you will find a lot of inconsistencies in these 3
reports.  Eg., the FGS automatically adds a blank line at the end of
each event note but the IR does not. If you add line feeds to make one
report look good, one or both of the others get worse.  Etc.

I had a list of 12 or 15 such related issues but support would only
agree to look a them if I put each one on a separate submission.  I
finally sent them to Geoff, his request, but he hasn't acknowledged
receipt.

So yes, I agree with you. These reports could be so much more useful
with a little work.  There may be historic reasons for the particular
FGS format, and compatibility concerns, but it would be easy to
generate additional versions of these reports that would be self
consistent.

[LegacyUG] Notes; Events

[Pat Hickin]

On reports I would like to have a space between the words/heading General
Notes and the actual contents.  With notes, it's easy enough, as I can
just insert a HardReturn and leave a blank line at the beginning of the
notes.

But between the words introducing the Events and the first Event, I don't
know how to accomplish this.  I tried to insert a blank event but Legacy
would not accept that.  So I tried just putting a period in the first Event
Name and leaving all the other fields blank, but that period really doesn't
look so good on reports.
I don't see a way to insert a carriage return, but maybe I'm overlooking
something.

Thanks for your ideas,
Pat

[LegacyUG] Notes

[Bonnie Samuel]

Notes, notes everywhere! But how to make a sensible journal out of the jumble 
the numerous note areas create in reports. Is it possible to put notes under 
general with footnotes? That is, sequential notes each with a source attached 
- would that print out as a narrative? The only way I see now is to transfer a 
report to a word processing program and rewrite! I love Legacy, but this is a 
weak area in my view.

It would print out as you entered it.  But the way to Source each
individual note would be to enter some sort of abbreviation or
indication at the end of each paragraph.

Say, for example, the various Sources for the Notes includes the
Anderson Family Tree, the Barnes photo album and Charles's Diary.
At the end of the paragraph dealing with info from the Family Tree you
type [Anderson], at the end of the para dealing with the photos you
type [Barnes] and so on.

[LegacyUG] Notes formatting

[Neil Bell]

Many times when you GEDCOM in data from another genealogy program the
notes field will not end with the appropriate period (.).  Some programs
automatically add a period at the end of a note when generating output
reports.  Legacy does not do this.

One can go into the sentence definitions edit and add the period after
the notes field.  However for notes that do contain the period this
would result in two periods at the end of the sentence.

I don't _think_ it would be very difficult to have the option of adding
a period when one is not present in the original note.  Obviously I
could be wrong here about the difficulty of doing this but I do strongly
feel this is highly desirable.  Perhaps an optional feature to add a
period could be considered much like the existing option concerning
spaces following commas in all location fields.

The enforced period would make narrative reports so much easier to read!

Neil Bell ( a retired programmer!)

RE: [LegacyUG] Notes in Events field?

[Michele Lewis]

Why can’t you just add notes to the event itself?  If you want to add something 
that you think will make the information clearer you can always put it in 
brackets [  ] to show that what is in the brackets is information that you have 
added and not part of the event itself.

Here are a couple of simple examples,

This is an entry I have for the 1820 census in Perry Co, MS for Silas Simmons

Silas Simmons
1 free white male under age 10 [William]
1 free white male age 16 to under 26 [Silas]
1 free white female under age 10 [Elizabeth]
1 free age 16 to under 26 [Janet]

I added WHO each person was because I knew but it wasn't on the census record 
itself.



Here is one for a Cemetery entry

Marker reads:
Simmons
[2 infant slabs, no other information, buried in same plot as Arthur A. Simmons 
and Mattie S. Dickson]

I am implying that the two infants belong to Arthur and Mattie and it explains 
why I think that even  though there is nothing on the marker to say so.

As the information grows more sparse it isn't a problem, but with more

I know this is probably a no brainer for those who are more familiar with the

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes in Events field?

[Marg Strong]

I'm glad to have discovered there is a notes place for events. There are times 
I want to comment on the event and add my interpretation and how it is 
important.

There are a lot of features in legacy deluxe to discover. I was using mine in a 
way that basic would have sufficed, and want to start using all the features. 
But it will take awhile to learn them. Especially since I'm also trying to 
research a lot and other stuff happens, like having to deal with a computer 
browser freezing problem for several hours this morning.

It was major frustrating. Thank you for responding, Michele.

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes -size of text

[Paula Ryburn]

I didn't see an answer for you  I think there is a place to turn off the
automatic resizing, but I think it affects all type, not just the Notes fields. 
As I remember, if you turn it off, you can set the size.  Look under
Customize... I'm not on my Legacy computer, else my answer could be more
detailed.

I keep a lot of information under Notes.  When it opens, I get a small
window with reasonably large type.  As I expand Notes to full screen
size, the text is very small.  So, next, I use zoom to enlarge the text
to 20 point size and the text is very readable.

Even so, I always want the text to automatically open in 20 point...I
don't want to have to click to enlarge every time I use Notes.  I didn't
see any help for this so I'm appealing to the Group for help.

If you normally use only the General Notes tab, look at the top of the Notes 
screen and make sure you haven't accidentally clicked on (and reset your 
default to) Research Notes or Medical Notes.

I remember what you describe as happening to me in the past, and that was my 
problem...I didn't even realize there were separate Research or Medical Notes 
screens until that moment.

First, make sure Legacy is set to display General Notes, if that is where
all your notes are located. I have 'Lost mine when I switched to Research
notes and forgot to switch back to General.

If that is not the problem, backup your data then do the File, Repair, and
then if that does not work, try the procedure Dennis suggested.

When you click on Notes there are three tabs for General, Research and

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes in Family view

[Amy]

Yes, my computer has been rebooted as has Legacy.  I have found NO place
in Legacy to turn this back on.  Now, on Family View, below the names
and info etc. I do see icons to get to the pics, notes, siblings,
parents, etc.  The screen I am talking about is the one that comes up
when you click on a person's name and input dates etc.  They used to be
to the right of the surname. (Just to clarify).   I can still enter
notes, it is just not as convenient for me to change screens again.

 Have you checked through your settings to see if there's something

Bring up the Individual's Information window (that's the title of the
window you're talking about). Then play around with the height and width
of the window. Too small in one direction seems to cause the loss of an
icon or two.

I take it you are referring to the down arrow, the + and the Geo
Location database buttons?

These are built into the program and you cannot not show them, as with
some icons.  It suggests you have a faulty installation.  I would back
up your family file and then reinstall the program.

Have you run a Check/Repair?  Shut down Legacy and rebooted your computer?

Let us know if/when you've done this, and if you're still having

 All of them have gone blank.
 I also had it add a field to my note: Cause of Death - and that
 started appearing with the notes field box below it - that appeared in
 every case as I opened the notes.

 Now - that has gone away and only the blank field remains.

 Meanwhile the notes icon is still active - instead of the blank grey
 page - indicating that Legacy senses there are notes somewhere. But,
 where is the question :)

 What happened? All of a sudden all of my notes fields are blank.
 Are my notes hidden or have they suddenly just disappeared?

 Tell me there is an easy fix for this.

There are 3 Tabs in Notes: |General|Research|Medical. Have you opened the
correct Tab with information?

Re: [LegacyUG] Notes and Source Details

I put the transcribed census in the Event notes. These are choices not rules. I 
have been doing this for decades and won't change my system.  The important 
part is that future recievers of your info can understand it, and prove it.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Notes and Source Details


I am new to Legacy and its notes and sources.  So I have been watching the 
training videos.
In entering Sources, Geoff created a Master Source for a birth date and then 
added text to the
Source Details (transcribed from the book).  Then attached the source to to 
birth date.
 
Then in adding an event, a census, Goeff went to the Master Source Clipboard 
and created a
Master Source, but did not transcribe any text in to the source detail.  Then 
added the event, the
Census.  Then he transcribed the census info into the notes of the Event, 
and attached the Source.
So this source has the notes in the event section and not in the Source 
Details.  Although it can
can be added there as well.
 
So the question is, is there a reason to put the transcribed the text of your 
findings into the Source Details
and not the notes in one case.  And then in another event put the text in the 
notes and not in the
Sources Details.  Or should it be in both? Or does it even mater?

Thanks Ward, and I just sent a note stating the versatility of the program, 
which you gave examples of.

Welcome, Rick.

I think the key is to be thinking about the potential reports that you will
generate from the family file, not just about what you, the user of Legacy,
will see when browsing the family file. Info in event notes will be printed
on various types of reports (unless that option is de-selected on the report
settings). Source detail text is there as a backup for you and any
researchers that have access to your digital data. True, you can choose to
display source detail text with the source citation on reports (footnotes,
etc.), but that is not the default.

Specifically for censuses, there have been discussions about this on the
LUG. Some people even put census details in both places, plus images of the
document. My preference is to ensure that the source details capture
everything that is relevant and in a reasonably verbatum manner, with any
interpretations only in the Comments field. Then in the event notes I put a
more condensed, readable summary of the event, ever sensitive to the
impatient reader of a wordy report. (This applies to events like a census
event. I wouldn't normally add any census-related notes to a birth event,
for example, when citing the census as a source for the birth.)
