I just now downloaded the .mp3 file from the "Listen" link in the MW and found that ALL three of the "missing corrections" are present. All your PL Notes have been taken care of and uploaded. The .mp3 file in the MW had been fully corrected. Another Librivox mystery.
Bizarre...but I'm glad to hear it. I've had one other weird thing happen like this as a DPL, where I could hear like a scratchy static in the 5 sec. of silence at the end, and the reader couldn't. Then in another forum recently where I'm recording, there was an instance of the DPL, the reader, and the BC talking about differences like we experienced in your file. I would think in your case that I was just accidentally listening to an old version I had, but the fact that I heard 2 new and 3 old seems to preclude that. I alway rename the old version before I download the new for Spot PL anyway. A little leak in the multiverse? :hmm:

Anyhoo...I'll move on! Like...to editing section 12, which I've recorded, and recording section 11, both of which I owe you. Now that we're fully assigned, I don't want to be the one holding things up! 8-)
V,
Again: I am delighted that you're the kind of person who does a thorough job of PLing. Keep it up!

Section 6 - color
Another very good job! Thank you.

But, please see these PL Notes below:
after "in dull white the blue and bluish colours will have this effect." at 3:14 and before "and dull white appears bluish." this text is missing: "Very bright white appears therefore yellowish" is missing before "and dull white appears bluish."

A couple of the five footnotes can be omitted:
at 1:02, 1:28 and 10:28.5
because they are mainly references to page number in other texts.

I very much appreciate your taking on the "On Painting" sequence of sections. You do a great job on them.

Verla,
These PL Notes apply to both section 11 and 12:
:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Both of these section are PL OK!
The much longer section 11 you handled with consummate skill and attention to uncovering the meaning from the older parlance in which the text was written.
And, the shorter section 12... well, more of the same!
Thank you very much.

Apologies if it's already addressed somewhere, but how to we handle figures? I've just got a couple on pg 102 (printed page).

Sadly, an eBook must just refer to the figures' numbers and proceed with reading the ensuing text. Wish I had a more fulfilling solution to offer.

I'll be on board with section 16.
Thanks, Marvin I'll update the Magic Window after writing this messsage.
In my Faraday project you were kinda slow getting started, but your work product was EXCELLENT!
Glad to have you aboard.

You're allowed to request more than one section at at time. If you'd like to add Section 17 (German schools Part 2) you may do so.
I'll gladly continue with section 17 (being almost finished with #16).
Good Morning, Marvin!
Any progress or problems to report?
We're nearing the end of the project and your two sections and one section by MoleHillMtn are the last outstanding (yes: a pun) sections remaining.

Section 16 is outstanding!
And, it is error-free.
So, it earns for itself as PL OK status!!
