As Alexander has said there is a help file, which I am actually in the
process of rewriting (should be soon).
To answer your question - there's lots of ways you can construct a
repertoire. Basically, the process is - get a database of games with the
openings you want, perhaps a database of just the Bishop's Opening for
example, then find a way to mark some of these games as white openings or
black openings. Then you need to set the icon of the database to one of the
opening icons.
For example, here's one way to construct a simple database - I can't vouch
for it's quality.
Filter one of your databases (or download one from the internet - you can
even buy some although I like to stick to the free/open-source ones) for the
opening you want, then copy the filtered games to a separate database, named
something appropriate - e.g.: "BishopsOpening". Then in that database, you
need to assign some games as white opening, and some as black opening (you
can do just the one, or you can do both). One way you could do this, is
filter the new database for 1-0 results, then go to the
Database Maintenance window, and assign the filter games with the "White
Opening" flag. Then if you want black openings, do the same for 0-1 results,
using the "Black Opening" flag.
Finally you set the icon. Up in the top right corner of the Database
Maintenance window you should see a picture. Click on the picture and select
the appropriate icon. I.e. if you have only flagged white openings, choose
the white openings icon, if you have both, choose the black and white
openings icon, etc, etc.
I don't have SCID on this computer, so I'm doing this from memory - but it
should be correct.
Alexander - this is the kind of thing I'll be putting in the help file. Are
you satisfied with this level of explanation?
