Split by the field #4 into memorization excerpts

Overview

This menu command divides the field #4 into short excerpts (pages) for parallel learning. This technique helps effectively memorize long texts.

When you click the menu command the dialog window appears. In there is an instruction what to do: 

💡The page becomes divided into excerpts by the field #4.

💡The split mark #/ consists of two characters.

💡Put the split marks #/ between the excerpts in the text.

The first split mark is placed after the first excerpt and the last one before the last excerpt!

Split the page?

When you click the OK button, the current page will be split into multiple pages according to your marks. 

A label will appear in field #7 - a unique number for these excerpts. Don't delete it. Why - you will find out a little later.

Dividing into memorization excerpts

The excerpt pages are designed to make it easier to memorise the current excerpt and the beginning of the next one. For example, in open field #3, you'll find the beginning of the current excerpt from field #4. The excerpt (in field #4) also has a "tail" - this is the beginning of the next passage, and so on. When repeating material, you should pronounce the entire excerpt, including the "tail."

Memorization

Now we are ready to start memorizing these excerpts. We memorize them until the repetition interval reaches 1-2 minutes for the least memorable excerpt. To check this you can go to the Repeat Today section (Repeat Today) -> Minute Repeat Plan subsection (Minute Repeat Plan), as shown in the short video below.

Unification of the pages

Once you have confidently memorized all the excerpts, combine them into one part as it was before. To do this, copy the unique number for these excerpts from field #7 of one of the excerpt and go to the Find by Form page (Find by Form: #1 - #8). Create a new Search Form (Search Form) or use the existing one. Insert the unique number in field #7 and click the Find button (Find).

On the Found by Form page (Found by Form), select the Unite Excerpts menu command (Unite Excerpts). All found excerpt pages will be combined into one. Now you should repeat this page as if it was a new one. You can set any minute or second interval you want but, no more than 2 minutes. We recommend to click the left button (not Know) on the Pop-up button bar (Pop-up Button Bar).

Important note

Do not modify separate excerpts. Especially (!) do not create duplicates of them. However, if you did this, remove the unique number from field #7 of the duplicate page. Otherwise, this may result in fragments not being united properly.
