Phil should have authorized you to edit parts of the Magic Window since you're a soloist. It's a different login to https://librivox.org/workflow - I find it easiest to use a different browser for the MW and the forums. (I use Chrome for the MW and Firefox for the forum. Your mileage may vary.)

Phil, is there a special username/password to get in? My usual login doesn't work.

Hi Rich,
Chapter 2 is ready for PL. (The checker has my volume at 89.5. Let me know if I should still go higher.)
Have a great day!

My copy of Checker also reports 89.5 dB for this chapter - keep your chapters near this volume and you'll have happy prooflisteners.fromdehart wrote: ↑May 6th, 2021, 1:44 pm

Chapter 2 is PL OK. I can hear from your voice you're having a good time reading this book!
Thanks for putting the URL in the Magic Window.
I notice the Project Gutenberg text includes another 4-line poem before even the title page:
There doesn't seem to be any good place to read that into your audio book. Sigh -- too bad.When little Bunny was quite small,
He read by candle-light;
But now that he has grown up tall,
He goes to bed at night!

I noticed that too! I wonder if I could add it to Chapter 1 after "By Laura Rountree Smith" and before saying "Chapter 1"?loon wrote: ↑May 6th, 2021, 2:12 pmMy copy of Checker also reports 89.5 dB for this chapter - keep your chapters near this volume and you'll have happy prooflisteners.fromdehart wrote: ↑May 6th, 2021, 1:44 pm

Maybe something like:
Phil - suggestions?
But lets ask Phil - he has done this sort of thing, I believe.Preface and Chapter 1 of THE TALE OF BUNNY COTTON-TAIL. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain.

That is not a preface, it is just a copy of the the illustration and poem that lead off this and other chapters. It seems to be an introduction to the chapter about to be read. I would definitely include it, but at the beginning of a chapter, after saying "chapter 2" Does this make sense? And If the story is already recorded, it is simple to stick this in. (at least for me!)

I'll give that a shot & upload a new Chapter 1.
“I’m not superstitious, but I am a little stitious.”
Cool. There's no need to do anything to your reading of Chapter 1 itself, which is lovely as-is.
Just drop in the poem in the right spot.
