Trick: The End Title Screen

[bose]

This is really difficult to explain because whenever I use one of those characters which are located above the full stop and comma key, the forum thinks I am using HTML coding and so the characters don't appear...!

So you understand the two characters I mean right. They look like left and right pointing arrows and are used for HTML.

For the purpose of this forum, I am going to substitute those two characters for normal brackets in my text below. So where use see an open and closing bracket, using those left and right arrow things in your actual text file.

Right, after a bit of experimentation, here's how you can have an unswept title screen at the end. Follow the example below of how I have set my lyrics out. I am using six lines per page...

THE LIGHTS SHINE
DOWN THE VALLEY
THE WIND BLOWS UP THE ALLEY
OH AND I WISH I WAS
LYIN' IN THE ARMS OF MARY - 6th line -

(L) THE END

While you are placing the lyrics, you need to press Ctrl after the last word (in this case 'Mary') and move onto the next screen so that the cursor is highlighting the word 'THE'. Don't sweep it though!

This file should now play perfectly, and of course the '(L)' won't actually appear on the screen, it will magically disappear.

Bose,

In Character Map, which characters do these represent? I am not familiar with html.

Thanks

Do they kinda look like this? (Hold Shift while typing square bracket)?

Presuming American keyboards look like ours...

I'm talking about the two characters to the right of the 'M' key.
Or to put it another way, press SHIFT and COMMA for the left arrow, then SHIFT and FULL STOP for the right arrow.

The "Less Than" and "Greater Than" signs!

Kewl!

Thanx Bose! You RULE!

What does that "L" trick actually do? Is that hidden code for something?

Just wondering,

Mike

Yep! Insert a blank line. I forgot to mention it in the manual.

I think what may have caused some of the confusion above was the use of the term "full stop". We call it a period. I know that threw me right at first untill i looked at the keyboard.
Will give this tip a try.

Take care,

George
