Hi everyone
Just wanted to pass on my sincere thanks to everyone on this list who contributes their knowledge to the wider community. I am currently re-scoring a musical that we are doing at the school I teach at to make the music more readable page turns more convenient (and correct typos in the provided manuscript ...) By searching through the archived messages, I've been able to:
- easily modify the original score to suit our requirements through the use of variables and tags
- learn enough Scheme to be able to
- write a function to provide cue lines
- conditionally include or exclude songs (\bookparts) and blank pages (with or without page numbers) depending on which version (original score or school edit) I want
- easily create title pages for each Act (missing from the original score ...)
- finally get my head around the difference between $( ) and #( ) 😁
While the re-scoring process is something I do on a regular basis, the challenge of getting Scheme helping me get the output I require has been one I have relished, but would have been next to impossible to do without the wealth of knowledge here on the list. So, again, thank you.
(Back to re-scoring! 😊)
