Progress and Accuracy MonitoringYour progress is monitored by the programme, which displays

Changes WindowThe Changes window shows the rows, progressing through the method/touch, and the call (GO method). 
Screen Shot 1:The Changes windowAll of the ringer's bells can be highlighted, in their actual striking positions, or alternatively, the bell in its 'place', depending on the selected mode. At the start of each lead of a method, the entry point of the blue line bell will be displayed, as the (n)th place bell. Also displayed are the correct place of the blue line bell, your input place, your striking faults (as a percentage of a strike), Hand strokes, calls and the Hand/Back bar (indicating the current/next input). The changes are always displayed, but the other items are optional, including the row ahead (shown here dimly - optionally in full or not at all) and the widths of the red and blue lines. The changes window content, layout (to the left, right or centre), font and colours (except the fault% colours), can be customised. Striking MonitorThe striking monitor is in a separate window and has two modes. It can be resized to improve its impact and visibility across the ringing chamber. With a single ringer's bell, the Striking Monitor shows your striking faults, expressed as a percentage of a strike (early/late), for the latest hand and back strokes, in either Single Bell or All Bells mode. | ||
Single Bell modedisplays the ringer's bell in its correct position (including in method) within the range +/- a whole blow (inter-strike interval). With perfect striking the bell will appear in the centre, but will shift to left or right (early/late) and the colour will change from green, through yellow, to red, and disappear altogether, as the striking deteriorates.Accuracy is shown at the bottom as a percentage of a strike, early or late, for each of the latest hand and back strokes. Screen Shot 2shows the 3 is 13% late at back stroke. |
 | |
All Bells modeshows all the bells in their actual strike positions, in the colours of the Changes window.Screen Shot 3shows the 3 is 58% late at hand stroke. |
 | |
Averages modeshows the average position of the ringer's striking, All strikes and averages separately for the Early blows and Late blows, indicating the trend and the range. The colours range from black for values within +/-10% of a strike (interstrike interval), then green, graduating through yellow and orange to red at +/-100% or more.This is drawn in a separate window, to allow occasional reference to check for improvements, and obviates the need for users to fix on the display, leaving them free to concentrate on listening. Screen Shot 4shows the Averages display. |
