Hi all - reporting for duty, but just back from vacation, so will get caught up as soon as I can.

PL notes for Narrator Act 1:
1:10 the profession you have done so much to uphold is read as "the profession you have done so splendid to uphold"
7:17 and 7:21 Norton seats himself next Lucy, Rose sits next Mr. Flam - next is read as near. (Maybe this sounded odd to modern ears and was interpreted as a mistake?)
7:44 "Martin turns round" should be "Flam turns round"
13:11 "Flam stands next the squire" is read as "Flam stands next to the squire" [Todd can probably just edit that out if he wants.]

PL notes for Lucy Act 1
-villagers "Hurrah! Hurrah!" is in the wrong spot (maybe doesn't need to be fixed as long as Todd is aware when editing)
-line is missing at 3:08 "Father! - dear, dear Father!"

ETA: also missing at 3:10 is "Leave the farm!" and another "Leave the farm!"

I got my Blue Yeti today! I have the weekend free, so I'll re-record all of Lucy!

PL notes for Lucy Act 2
-0:37 missing line "and in which he hoped to have died"
-1:12 click (maybe from editing?)
-1:23-25 missed edit "though all changes Fortune may make"
-1:39 missing line "Hear him, when he swears that the farm is our own, Through all changes Fortune may make."

There are a few differences from the text
-purpose/reason
-do not add to it/do not add it to
-meadow/mountain
-repose/response
Todd, I don't know if you want these fixed or not... You didn't specifically say word-perfect PL'ing, but I'm following along with the text, so I notice them. Just let me know and I can note the times if needed.

ETA: Just saw Cat's post, so disregard this one. I'll re-PL the whole thing when ready.

There'll be a new PL but just to set the record straight on standards - I do not care about word perfect. I just want the right meaning so listeners do not get confused. So in the above word pair listing (and without going into the script to look for detail), it looks like "repose" and "response" seem very different in meaning and beg repair; "meadow" and "mountain" might be very different and need fix too, though if it is just some place someone is going to, that might not matter much. The others do not sound likely to need fixing though it is hard to tell out of context.

Again I wish to thank you for doing the PL. It helps so much to have parts complete and correct when doing the editing!!

Thanks, Todd

Thanks for clarifying. I'll keep this in mind for the rest of the project.

Todd? *She ask sweetly* Any way I can swap Lucy for Young Benson

Thanks! Get these made and back to you!
