I wasn't aware of the help file in the LOR software either and I was trying to figure out some things, and when I asked, I did feel somewhat idiotic NOT finding the help files on my own. And I've been working with computers for years and somehow, I even missed the help files.Why'd I feel like an idiot? Because they were right there in front of me, but even so, it just seems that I kept overlooking them! And believe me, they are a fantastic resource if you get stuck somewhere. But even as good as they are, sometimes you may not quite get or grasp what it is telling you, that's when it's time to ask the folks here on the forum for help.Believe me, we are all eager and willing to help here if you truly get stuck on something and can't quite grasp it, but knowing you tried to read the help files and manuals gives us the information to know you tried it on your own, but somehow still didn't quite get it.That's when everyone here that has experience with your particular question will guide you through the process, step by step if neccessary.So you're off on the right track!Welcome to this illness there is absolutely no cure for! LOLIt's one we've all succumbed to here on the forums called "animated synchronized musical holiday lighting", or just "LOR", if you prefer. Once you start you just can't stop! LOLMost if not all major software has a help file. While it is open, press your F1 key to open it or click help or about at the top of the program.This is PC 101. You'll need the basic fundamentals to proceed forward if you want to have a light show like everyone else here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubado Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 He11, the first time I put together a LOR PC controller, I made a mistake putting a part in wrong. I emailed LOR and they sent me a replacement part plus an email telling me about a statement in the assembly manual. I had the manual open to that page in RED text glaring at me and I didn't see, or I did, and didn't put 2 and 2 together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffandnicole Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 In many cases, you can hover over the icon to get the name. Then simply do a search in this forum to see what people have done with it. In some cases, they'll post screen shots showing what they've done. Take the time and read thru many of the threads - it'll help give you ideas, and then when you're stuck, you may have an idea of which threads to go back to that provided more assistance than others.Much of it is personal preference. Your first song isn't going to be perfect. Neither is your 10th song. But you're going to look back at your first song and realize you could've done this and that with it, and will reprogram it. It's all part of the learning curve, which admittedly will never end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah just hover the mouse pointer and a text box will pop up with the tools name.As for the repeating notes on the grid. Use the selecting arrow and high lite the notes. Then do the copy and then select the place you want them repeated and do a paste. There are short cut keys, but I just have not spent the time to train myself those key clicks. Again there is a list in the help area that contains the list to the short cut key strokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I wouldn't mind having those "chipmunks" in my display either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wbottomley Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 They can't be purchases anywhere. The talented Robin Stublen made them a few years back. I acquired them this past Summer when he was selling his items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
