Transcribe! Help : Window menu commands

The Window menu offers the following commands, which enable you to create and organize multiple views of multiple transcriptions:


New Window

Creates a new window that views the same transcription.
Use this command to open a new window with the same contents as the active window. You can open multiple transcription windows to display different parts or views of a transcription at the same time. If you change the contents (e.g. move a marker) in one window, all other windows containing the same transcription reflect those changes. When you open a new window, it becomes the active window and is displayed on top of all other open windows.


Cascade

Use this command to arrange multiple opened windows in an overlapped fashion.


Tile

Use this command to arrange multiple opened windows in a non-overlapped fashion.


Bring All to Front

On OS-X (unlike Classic Mac) clicking on a window belonging to an application will bring that window to the front but will not bring the application's other windows to the front. This menu command will bring all Transcribe!'s transcription windows in front of other applications. You can get the same effect by clicking the Transcribe! icon in the dock.


Command 1, 2, 3 etc.

Transcribe! displays a list of currently open transcription windows at the bottom of the Window menu. A check mark appears in front of the transcription name of the active window. Choose a transcription from this list to make its window active.
