August 20 - Trials and Arrows


Finish linking all the pdf's of Missa "The a Deux" -- a surprisingly long process, catching many mistakes in the Encore files, which have to be revised but not saved, because of a corrupt-file danger that has developed... the Finale scores, however, basically behaving beautifully, although still cannot figure out

1. Page numbers when not starting at "1"
2. Measure numbers without italics and with boxes at beginning of each staff
(without strangeness setting in -- yes, such things are a big deal...)
3. Serial number footers
4. Unusual beaming (which doesn't seem to work as advertised so far)


Post piece at the International Music Score Library project, but not without a couple erroneous edits, so email Carolus for rescue, and hopefully situation will be rectified soon.


Meanwhile do the rest of the day's musical challenges -- with Harriet walking to the library mid-day, and kindly proofing the John Adams Grove article -- plus a bit of general catch-up, finishing re-reading Edwin A[bbott] Abbott's Flatland (1884), with an Italianate marathon watch-as-we-work in the coolest of evenings of late.  Including

9th page composed for Psalm 69
89th orchestrated page of The Countess Cathleen
5th video edited of Noe Valley Henry Miller performance
90 pages total for edit of Symphony No. 3
