Re: [O] multilingual presentation with org

* Nick mentioned "no "n" to follow the bouncing ball..."--in jest I believe; but, seriously, you can do that too with EMACS and XAUTOMATION do:

apt-get install xautomation 

(this will install xte I believe)

** well, if you wanted a "bouncing ball" to follow the music, in a say, 1 line per 3 seconds for a presentation/sing-along:

xterm -e watch -p -n3 "xte \"key n\"  "

*** Again, you put the cursor on the EDIFF help window --"n" will go line per line 

*** Which will work too; I do something like this everyday (use xte calling out of EMACS/OrgMode several times a day at least).

I usually use "nl" (UNIX) to do this (quoting myself):

nl sanskrit-song.txt > sanskrit-song_line-numbers-at-front.txt

* Also, Thanks Nick for the pointing to notes on how to translate the english/roman script etc. and the updating of views related to this thread:

"updated a thread on gnu.emacs.help with those

"That'd be cool if it worked, but at least in my case, it doesn't:
diff decides there is one big diff that covers the whole file,
and ediff does not find a "better" refinement: no "n"
to follow the bouncing ball...
