Ross,
It was a bit of a fiddle, but I finally got your strained squirrel to
sing. Our possoms don't sound that good. I bet you made the Squirrel
sing button by copying the Print I Will button. They were both assigned
to the print I Will macro. I've since fixed that. You probably have
too.
I had to get the mp3 off your site. Did you make that site? I don't
know the first thing about web development.
I took your test and only got one wrong. I didn't know Spot's name. I
said Andy. I was thrown by Kung Fu Andy. Is Kung Fu Andy a real dog?
(Could do some harmonies with the squirrel)
I had a look at the eye page and have learnt something. I wrongly
thought that the fovea and macula were the same thing. I now know the
macula surrounds the fovea.
My late mother suffered from age related macula degeneration. She was
an avid reader. The talking books eased her boredom. Her younger
sister, who is still with us, developed the same symptoms and had
successful laser treatment. I'm seeing her and my cousin tomorrow.
Last night I finished the changes I mentioned in my last post. It's
available as Mysongmaker3 at the now usual place:

We've now got different versions coming out our ears.
I think the two new buttons are self explanatory. They only affect the
one selected lyric line. I thought it wouldn't be necessary to expand
all lyric lines, just those that have a lot of chord changes.
Another change I made is not realy visible but might prove to be
useful. Before I made this change, the cell range that was worked on by
the transpose and enharmonic macros was A4:Z100. I've extended the
width of this range out to the last visible column. It now might be
possible to fit the whole song on the visible part of the screen with
parts of the song side by side (no scrolling). I've also made it easy
to increase the number of rows in the working range. It is currently 97
rows (row4 to row100). Towards the top of the code in the transpose and
enharmonic macros the variable LastRow is currently made equal to 100.
Change this value to suit the circumstances.
Are you happy with the Chords/bold, Lyrics/regular aspect of the whole
thing. I'm pretty sure it can be done away with. I sometimes
unwittingly apply unnecessary conditions and I think that is the case
here. The chords/even rows, Lyrics/odd rows is enough for the code to
recognise what is what.
Your Google Earth snapshot does show where I live. I'll try to upload a
picture.
