Overview
Floor Tunes gives you a new, intuitive way to manage floor music on
your iPhone or iPod touch. Instead of separating the music into
play lists you enter all your gymnast's names, levels and their
music. From then on you never have to remember which music is
used for which gymnast, Floor Tunes remembers for you. Gymnasts
at
levels 1 - 6 will automatically have the appropriate compulsory music
associated with them, you set the level and Floor Tunes knows what song
to play.
It is best, but not necessary, to have the floor music on your iPhone /
iPod touch before using Floor Tunes. You should use iTunes as
usual to put the music on your device then Floor Tunes lets you choose
any song file as floor music for a particular gymnasts or level.
Floor Tunes keeps a database of compulsory music, gymnasts and "meets",
which are collections of gymnasts. We recommend that you set the
compulsory music first, add gymnasts second and then organize gymnasts
into meets. Once you have a meet you can play the gymnast's music
one song at a
time. <top>

Tap the row ro each level and select the song that corresponds to the

Once a level is entered, a third

Meets are a way to organize your gymnasts into groups. They might

Playing Floor Music
Tap a meet name from the
Meets screen to show the play screen.
The screen lists all the gymnats in the meet and has previous, next and play buttons at the bottom of the screen, along with a volume slider.
Icons next to the current gymnast
indicate the playback status. A yellow cue icon shows that the gymnast's music is ready to be played.
A green play icon shows that the gymnast's floor music is playing.
A red pause icon shows that the gymnasts's music is paused.

Deleting Gymnasts, Meets

the database. If a gymnast is deleted they will be removed from any meets that they were in. <top>
