Selecting Bells for Ringing

Most often you will want to ring all eight, or the back six. These common choices are available on a menu (or via the tool-bar):

When you choose an option, the appropriate bells will be raised ready for ringing and any others that happen to be raised will be lowered. (Raising and lowering in this context is a dramatic and deliberate departure from reality - it happens quickly and smoothly.)

As well as the standard choices available on the above menu, one or two additional choices are available on the "Other" sub menu. But you can also choose any arbitrary combination of bells. To raise (or lower) a specific bell, just click on it.

You can find out which bell is which by holding the mouse over a bell for a second or so until its identity is revealed.

(You can turn these tips off by choosing the appropriate preference.)

With the bells of your choice raised, you are ready to start ringing.
