New layout of towers and constituent rings; mouse hovering features
Sunday 18 October 2020
Three important changes now appear on Dove’s Guide, launched on 18 October.
1. Where a tower contains more than one ring of bells, the various rings now appear together on the same page rather than on separate pages. The layout of the tower pages has been adapted to draw the distinction between the tower, the ring(s) and frame(s). Rings still have separate entries in the listings. We can expect to see this feature of the newly designed database to be exploited further in coming months.
2. You can now see a translation of the nominal frequencies in terms of the given note of the scale plus or minus the number of cents away from that note. This is done by hovering your mouse over the figures in the nominal column.
3. You can similarly hover your mouse to view the meaning of the symbols in the columns to give details of canons, turning and listing status, as well as those bells noted as being cracked or welded.
