Oh man. Sorry, Andy.

You are the best for doing this!

Sorry for all the trouble it's causing, Andy, but I know it will sound great. Thanks so much!

Cassandra's voice credit is posted.
(I'll do them as separate little files since I'm not sure if Elizabeth is editing already.)

Nope, not editing yet. The Chorus is such a big part of the text that I'm waiting on those files. But once those start coming in the editing process should be fairly straightforward. Editing a Greek play is simple compared to editing a Shakespeare play!

Herald voice credit is posted. I think that's everyone!
ETA: oops, posted without refreshing the browser window from last night so didn't see your message. Oh well, the voice credits are little tiny files so probably just as easy to do separately. And yeah... I'm watching the BBC (Derek Jacobi) version of Hamlet right now, and I don't envy you editing that one.

Sarah, do you want to have the voice credits in a separate file, numbered 0? That's how I've done it in the past - just wanted to check with you.

I hadn't thought about that, but it would save repeating the characters who appear more than once. Sounds good to me if it's not too much extra work for you.

Here's the first part again, this time 'chorusified'
I think this is the best I can manage. (I hope that PLing doesn't uncover bits that need doing again!
Note that there is a beep at 13:34 for the narrator

I've updated the MW. Thanks, Andy!

And the second part again, down to Agamemnon's entry.

Thanks Andy - in the MW. I will get started on the editing soon.

& thence to line 1145 (I make it) - Where Agamemnon speaks again in the middle of the chorus/cassandra dialogue

And the final part
http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/sj/orestia_chorus_4.mp3

There may be a problem here, at 8:44.5 in the final part there is a section of 10 lines ("Yet ah my king...")that is repeated at 9:42.5 - I've checked in the Gutenberg script and the repeat is there but it does seem rather odd.

And the voice credits

I have a feeling you'll let me know if I've missed any of it!

Thank you so much, Andy! Yes, I'll let you know if there are any missing bits.

I should probably set myself a deadline for getting this edited: I'll try to have it done a week from today (Monday 2/8).

Thanks again, Andy!
