Note Namer V1.0 (c)1995 Bruce A. Reid
A Musical Note Naming Quiz - FREEWARE

Thank you for using Note Namer!

This program was designed to help music students learn to identify
the notes of the Bass Cleff and Treble Cleff, (toghether, called the
Grand Staff).

Upon starup, you will be presented with a Window which will contain a 
picture of the Grand Staff with a note placed at random on one of its 
lines or spaces.

The student must identify the the Letter Name of that note by clicking
the appropriately named Push Button underneath the staff.  He/she can
also select the name by pressing and holding "ALT" then pressing the 
appropriate key on the keyboard.

A successful attempt will show a green light on the scoreboard with the
note name inside it.  The "# Right" window will be incremented by one.

An unsuccessful attempt will show a red light on the scoreboard with the 
proper note name inside it.  The "# Wrong" window will be incremented by
one.

After each naming attempt, the user can click the "Show Next Note" button
to proceed to the next try.  This will clear the note off the staff and 
place a new note at a randomly selected spot.   "Show Next Note" is the 
default key, so just pressing <Return> will also activate it.

If you are unsure about the note naming conventions of the Grand Staff, 
you can click "Help with Note Names".  This will display the letter names
of each line and space on the Grand Staff.  The letters will remain on 
screen until the "Show Next Note" button is activated.
