I thought you said you weren't going to complete this until October. :lol:

One hour is okay. It should be split if it goes over about 74 minutes or so - the length of an audio CD.

Readers sometimes choose to split longer sections into shorter 30-40m sections. Times are written in mm:ss so the time for this section is 60:56.

Well, okay ... I was going to take my time about this project, and I was also mindful that the last project you DPLed for me took far longer than I expected -- because it turned out to be a bit of a dud. This one is so far from a dud, at least in my view, that I'm simply enjoying ripping through it, the way I used to rip through new mysteries when I was a teenager.

Let's call the new Target completion date August 10th.

Edited chapter 3 complete with outro coming in a few minutes, followed by completed chapter 7 in about an hour.

Craig David and Tricia

I happened to notice two separate, unaccountable noisy silences in chapter 7. So I fixed the problem, deleted the chapter seven I originally loaded in the MW, replaced it with the one I fixed, and put in the new time (2 seconds shorter) .

Here it is -- the one I fixed.

Craig,

It looks like chapter nine needs 2 parts. Can you add the necessary for in the MW?

THANKS.

Craig,

In the post that follows -- and in the MW -- you'll see how I've split Chapter 9 into 2 parts.

What I did was based on my understanding of how others have split chapters -- which increases the section numbers but preserves chapter numbers (e.g., Section 9, Chapter 9 Part 1, and Section 10, Chapter 9 Part 2...)

I'm not at all sure I've got it all right -- so let me know if / what I should change.

K

I've created an extra row in the MW to fit in Chapter 9 part 2, and posted Chapter 9 parts 1 and 2 (now Sections 9 and 10), and Chapter 10 (now Section 11).

All three sections are posted below.
