A lot of stuff was being duplicated between different page size. Consolidate where
possible, and in particular put as much into a single source file (dottes.tex) as
possible. Making a single Booke is now potentially quicker, as the tune pages
don't necessarily have to be regenerate every time.
My previous attempt appeared to work, but didn't actually centre graphics
if the graphic was less than page width.
Revert, and instead add a \vfill before the tune to leave more blank space
between multiples tunes on a page, It's more obvious then which tune the
change belongs to. Not idea, but the best I can do for now.
1. Remove date from front page. Don't want it instantly out of date.
2. Add instrumen name, if present.
3. Revise A5 to single page front cover with little buzzard.
I was using \begin{center}..\end{center} to centre the tune graphic,
followed by the change notice, if any.
But this leaves a paragraph gap after the center section and hence a gap
between tune graphic and change notice.
Change to use figures to position the graphic, include the change notice
as a caption, and use {\centering} around the image to centre just the image.
A zero indent means that you really then want space between paragraphs.
And that in turn means that you get extra spaces between a tune and
any Change notification.
So for now use the default indentation to signal a paragraph and see
how that goes.
Possibly the tunes should be generate such that there is no paragraph
between the graphic and the change notification, but I'd have to work
out how.
Put a big title in English Towne, the official Havoc font.
Add a title for each volume, and also print the subtitle on the cover.
Add the buzzard, too. On A5, we now need to split the title page across two
physical pages. This looks OK to me.
Digging around, I find that the tune is actually due to no less than
Mozart. Replace Nick Barber with what Mozart wrote. I'm not sure it's
still exactly what Havoc play, but I think it's closer.
Change all change notes to reference the filename of the tune to change to.
Modify web and document generators to pull the change note out of the abc
and generate an appropiate bit of content. This is now, in both cases,
a hyperlink.
In the process, remove the tune-specific .tex facility. It wasn't being
used.
I could really do with a proper templating system, and using some sort
of templating in the LaTeX generation.
The old image had joins when it repeated. RReplace with a bitmap
of colour 8000ba with GIMP Aristic/Clothify filter applied with
Blur X/Y 20 and depth 1.
Move text to 5px margin, which combined with the 5px margin specified
in the banner CSS gives a 10px margin for text, matching the content.
Give buzzard more of a vertical margin.
The previous bitmap had green tinges around the main wording. And I wanted
to have 'Cry Havoc Botley Morris' around the buzzard.
Also add the Inkscape SVG used to generate the banner bitmap.
The aim of MIDI and MP3 is to allow the user to hear what a tune sounds
like. For transposed bookes, I think this should be reused from the main
booke page, because hearing it at the transposed pitch isn't a major help.
And in fact given the way cello transposition is done, the sound won't
be transposed anyway. And Jane hasn't complained.
This will speed up building the bookes by removing audio generation,
the slowest process, from the transposed bookes.
1. Ensure makeWeb.sh gets its second parameter quoted, to allow for spaces in it.
2. Don't forget to copy the component text items into the horn dir.
3. Fix removing transposition tag from page title.
