Recorder Digits

Recorder Digits is a useful software that was designed to display and document recorder fingerings. In default mode, it displays standard and alternate fingerings for alto, soprano/tenor, and bass recorders.

The program also has the ability to load external fingering files. This gives the user the ability to change the fingerings that the program displays. For example, a person could create a file with the fingerings specific to a particular model of recorder.

Here are some key features of "Recorder Digits":

￭ Standard and Alternate fingerings for all notes ￭ Fingerings for soprano/tenor, alto, and bass recorders ￭ Easy to read recorder diagrams ￭ If an alternate fingering is normally used for trilling, the trill fingers are shown (optionally) ￭ Extensive context-sensitive Help via F1 key ￭ 2 types of reports (click here for full description) ￭ text-only format - fingerings shown using text diagrams ￭ rich-text word-processor format - fingerings shown using pictures ￭ "Extra" information supplied on most notes via the "Info" buttons - see the screen snapshot on the RcDigits Home page. ￭ "Smart" note names - for example, in alto and bass mode, the lowest note is referred to as "F", while in soprano mode, it is called "C". ￭ Enharmonic note-naming style can be chosen by the user - for example, you decide whether the 2nd lowest note on the alto is called "F#/Gb", "F#", or "Gb". ￭ Powerful recorder-description language which can be used to create new external files and/or change the program's existing display. There is extensive documentation for this language. The page describing the normal trills external file has more info about this feature. ￭ Program can automatically load and display an external file at startup, instead of displaying its built-in fingerings (See the FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions - section of program's Help). ￭ External files can display images. ￭ External files can contain special multi-page "Readme" documentation, displayable inside the program.
