Pieces Table
This table is used in order to change the Marker Attributes of the pieces. It is similar to Piece Properties only makes it easier to manage the data on the cells, and to copy and paste from one cell to the other(s).
The Style Set can also be used, after setting the 'defualt' values of the pieces, in order to create style variants.
Note: Since version 10, in the 'Marker Attributes' an important field was added - Pair.
