MUSICALC v2.02
                Copyright 1989 By Steve MacMillan 
                          with GFA Basic

     Musicalc v2 is a complete re-write and includes all previous 
Musicalc functions plus the addition of footage calculations.  
Musicalc should prove useful for musicians, recording engineers, 
home studio owners, and people working with video and film.  In 
addition to normal numeric calculations, Musicalc will preform 
time base and footage calculations.  The most unique feature 
however is its ability to calculate bar (or beat), SMPTE time, and 
footage offsets referenced to a starting SMPTE time.  Musicalc 
also includes several useful utilities such as a metronome, a stop 
watch, and it generates delay charts based on tempo.

     All time entry is based on a 24 hour clock with hours, 
minutes, seconds, and frames (HH:MM:SS:FF).  The frames will 
depend on the SMPTE mode.  24 frame SMPTE is the film standard and 
each second is divided up into 24 frames (each frame corresponds 
to one frame of film).  25 frame is the European standard or EBU 
(European Broadcasting Union) code.  30 frame is the American 
black and white television standard and the most common type of 
SMPTE for pop music production.  Drop frame SMPTE is a special 
adjusted version of 30 frame SMPTE where certain frames are 
skipped in order to correct for American color television.  Drop 
frame is used extensively in video production.

     All footage entry is broken down into feet and frames, or 
feet and inches depending on the film type selected.  Frames for 
the three film sizes (16mm, 35mm, & 70mm), and inches for the 
three tape speeds (7.5, 15, & 30 inches per second).  While 
entering footage the decimal button allows for entry of frames or 
inches much like the fraction of a floating point number.

     Numeric calculator:
     Select the 'Numeric' mode and Musicalc is a normal numeric 
calculator.

     Time Base calculator:
     Select the 'Time Base' mode and Musicalc will add or subtract 
two SMPTE times.  Or you may multiply or divide a SMPTE time by a 
number.  All answers are based on a 24 hour clock: 12:00:00:00 + 
12:00:00:00 = 00:00:00:00.

     Footage calculator:
     Select the 'Footage' mode and Musicalc will add or subtract 
two footage entries.  Or you may multiply or divide a footage by a 
number.
 
     Note: all three calculator modes may be printed at a printer 
by enabling the 'Print' button on the calculator module.

     SMPTE Locator:
     Select the 'SMPTE Locate' mode to calculate bar or beat, 
SMPTE time, and footage offsets from the SMPTE start time.  Set 
the 'Start' time to the SMPTE address of beat one of your song or 
segment.  The start time is the SMPTE address of zero film or tape 
footage as well.  You have the choice of entering bar (or beat) 
numbers, SMPTE time, or footages, by selecting the entry mode in 
their corresponding windows.  By entering a bar number, Musicalc 
will then calculate that bar number's SMPTE address and the 
difference in footage from the start.  Negative bar (or beat) 
numbers and footage are allowed.  The locator calculations are 
affected by SMPTE type, film type, tempo, and time signature.

     Stop Watch:
     Use the 'space bar' to start and stop the clock.  The clock 
may be reset while running or stopped, with the 'Undo' button.

     Metronome:
     Use the 'space bar' to stop or start the metronome.  The 
metronome has an eigth-note mode where it clicks twice per beat.  
The metronome runs at the speed selected in the tempo window.  The 
current time signature affects the bar/beat display.

     Delay Chart:
     Selecting 'Delay Chart' prints a breakdown of the current 
tempo's note values in milliseconds to the screen and/or printer.  
Note values are affected by time signature as well as tempo.  Time 
for four bars, and frames per beat, are also calculated. 

     Entering tempo:
     Select 'Enter' and manually enter a tempo between 50 and 250 
beats per minute.  The tempo may also be set by selecting 'Tap'. 
The first tap on the space bar starts the clock and 16 taps later 
Musicalc computes the average tempo for quarter-note taps.

     Entering Time signature:
     One of four time signature can be directly selected or the 
'Other' button allows for manual entry of any unusual time 
signature. 

     Quit w/Save:
     The SMPTE start time, SMPTE mode, film type, tempo, time 
signature, locate mode, and current Musicalc mode, can be saved 
while quitting.  When Musicalc finds "MUSICALC.INF" in its current 
path it will auto load these settings when first run.

     Version 2.02 fixes a display bug when Turbo ST 1.82 is 
present.  And Musicalc now runs in HiRez but only on half the 
screen.
