CHAPTER 3 - GETTING STARTED
The “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, and “8” keys each support three letters and one number and
can be pressed from one to seven times to display upper case, lower case, and numeric
characters. The “7” and “9” keys both support four letters and one number and can be
pressed from one to nine times. The “1” and “0” keys support all of the special characters
and will cycle through each character for every key press.
The text characters follow the same convention used by a standard telephone – except in
the case of the “1” and “0” keys which contain additional characters that are useful for
editing music information.
When entering characters at the beginning of a eld or characters that follow a space,
FireBall assumes that upper case characters are preferred. Therefore, characters are
entered in the following cycle – uppercase, lowercase, and numeric. For example, the
rst key press enters an uppercase letter corresponding to the rst letter associated with
the key. Pressing the “2” key once displays an “A” in the text eld, pressing the “2”
key twice displays a “B”, pressing it again will display a “C”. The fourth key press
displays a lower case “a”, the fth key press displays a lower case “b”, and the sixth key
press displays a lower case “c”. Lastly, pressing the “2” key a seventh time displays the
number “2”.
When entering the second character in a text eld or the second character following a
space, FireBall assumes that lower case is preferred and the character entry cycles in the
following pattern – lowercase, uppercase, and numeric.
