Search; Renaming Multiple Objects - Kurzweil PC3 Getting Started Manual

Search

There's a convenient way to find any string of characters within the currently selected list, or
range of values. Hold the Enter button and press any of the numeric buttons. A dialog appears.
Type in the string of characters you want to find. For example, if you're looking at the program
list and you want to find all programs containing the word "Horn," you would type h-o-r-n.
This function is not case-sensitive; it will find upper and lower case characters regardless of
what you type.
When you've typed the string of characters you want to find, press Enter. The PC3 searches
through the current list of objects or values, finds all items that match the string of characters
you typed, and displays the first one it finds. Hold Enter and press one of the Plus/Minus
buttons to search for the next higher- or lower-numbered object that contains the string of
characters.
The string you select remains in memory. You can store and select a string of characters with
each of the numeric buttons. Hold Enter and press one of the numeric buttons at any time to
select that string for a search. When the string appears, you can change it, or just press Enter to
find that string.
