I believe so, yes. I'm doing the music and editing. I believe (?) Kim is/has worked out how the chapters will be broken down. I don't yet have a list of what singing parts will be needed, but I'll work on that.
Reading over the first few posts on this topic (before PD issues came up), I notice that some other questions came up, such as naming of the musical bits. I've been using a ##-# format, where the first two digits are the page number and the last one is which score on the page. For instance, page 54 has three musical excerpts, so I have them numbered 54-1, 54-2, and 54-3.
Jordan had asked (again, before PD questions intruded, obviously), whether or not to produce piano recordings of the vocal parts for our singers to listen to. I have the same question, and I'm actually in favor of doing so. Even if our singers are skilled musicians, it's always helpful to hear what you will need to sing.
Kim, you said something early on in the thread about submitting music as zip files. Could you explain more about that? Why not just submit them as flac, or even mp3, like DR parts are submitted? Or maybe I misunderstood you.
I have been playing with the MuseScore program (and thanks again for sharing that, Kim, it's really cool!), and I have learned how to change the type of instrument. So if the text specifies what kind of instrument is used, I'll use that. Otherwise, I'll use piano. For the rhythms, I'll use a wood block (percussion).
