1.4.2 BUTTON COMBINATIONS (SIMULTANEOUS)
Whenever multiple buttons are to be pressed simultaneously the "+" sign is used. The first button name is
the first button pressed. The second button name after the "+" sign is the second button pressed (while
holding the first button). In some cases there are additional button presses.
For example, to clear a pattern the "function" and "clear" buttons are pressed in order as shown below.
This would be written as
[FUNCTION]
+ [CLEAR], and illustrated as shown below:
In some instances button combinations are indicated using the
"finger point" graphic. In these
instances the order of button presses is indicated by the number of each hand. For example, SECTION +
BUTTON 2 is equivalent to the graphic below.
