00100 Any motive may be made to go in retrograde motion by inserting
00200 a minus sign after the "@". The retrograde feature may be used in conjunction
00300 with the number feature just explained.

00500 Z(C4/D/EF/C)/@-Z3; At "*" the string F/AF/G/F will occur.
00600 *ā
00700
00800 Y(Q/E/)/@-Y.5; Here the motive will repeat as S//E/.
00900 (Half the time values and backwards.)
01000
01100 With notes only inversions of motives are possible by inserting
01200 the dollar sign ($). Again, this will be a visual, not necessarily a musical
01300 inversion. All accidentals will remain unchanged.

01500 D(C4/D/EF/C)/@$D/@$D4;
01600 *ā

01800 At "*" the notes will be C4/B3/AF/C4/. Then we will have G4/F/EF/G/.

02000 Retrograde may be used with inversion, but be very careful to check
02100 your results.

03100 All the sorts of material entered under "IN" by typing directly to
03200 the MS program can instead be assembled in external edit files and then
03300 entered by file name. For longer, more complicated lines of input this has
03400 several advantages. The main advantage is that when errors occur (and they will!)
03500 you simply go back to your edit file to make the corrections and then resubmit
03600 the file to MS. With "IN" you will find that errors often require that all the
03700 data be retyped.
03800 To utilize score input from an edit file type READ NAME <CR> where NAME
03900 is any upper case file name of no more than 5 letters. Used in its most usual
04000 way READ will be completely automatic. There will be no prompts unless errors are
04100 detected. The first line of the edit file will contain some of the information
04200 gained from the prompts when using "IN". This first line should be or the form:
04300
04400 *n1 n2 n3 n4 n5
04500
04600 n1 will be the number of the spacing staff. This can be the number of any staff
04700 where there is as yet no input if it is to be ignored.
04800
04900 n2 is the number of the staff where this section of input is to go.
05000
05100 n3 and n4 are the left and right position limits (POS1 and POS2). In n4=0 it
05200 becomes the default value of 2OO.
05300
05400 n5 will invoke the pseudo-Fibonacci spacing system if it is set to 1.
05500
05600 Note that if there are notes on the designated spacing staff (n1) then
05700 n3, n4, and n5 will be ignored. When "*" is used n1 and n2 must always appear.
05800 All further lines entered with "IN" or "READ" will conform to the spacing on
05900 staff n1 unless staff n1 is deleted or some new n1 is given or "SP" is typed,
06000 followed by some new number.
06100 After this first line the data in a file will be in the same form as
06200 if it were typed directly to MS.

07000 Several lines may be used for each of the catagories of input. As usual,
07100 the last line must end with a semicolon and the earlier lines with slashes.
07200 Anything appearing after a semicolon or after the last slash on a line will be
07300 ignored by MS. Comments are to be no entries for MARKS (or BEAMS, or SLURS) a
07400 semicolon alone should appear.
07500 If the above mentioned first line, beginning with a "*" is not
07600 used, the program will ask you for the neccessary information. Several
