That's a relief.
Chapter 1 includes a quote of the song "Buffalo Gals." Even though the musical notation is not included, I'm planning to sing this one, because it's a song I know. I did some research and found a citation from an 1890 newspaper article (via Wikipedia). I will sing the melody indicated by the notation printed there, but the lyrics in the Gutenberg text. Let me know if that plan is LV-OK. Here is the link: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Buffalo_Gals.jpg

Chapter I is ready for PL.
I corrected some errors in the Gutenberg version:
P. 10 (approx) 12:56
Regarding the indented passage: “One night a gentleman visitor . . . they always take a turn.”
The only way to make sense of this passage is to realize that the sentence “Dickens found the whole ordeal . . . neighbor said to him” is not part of the quote. So I read it that way.
p. 11 (approx) 16:16
The first verse of the song should have “down de street” three times, not just twice. Otherwise, it is not parallel with the second verse, nor can it scan with the melody. So I sing “down de street, down de street, down de street.”
p. 20 (approx) 29:05
“. . . we find Signer Lobskini introduced . . . “ The character’s name in “Sketches by Boz” is Signor Lobskini (not Signer), so I read it that way.

Chapter III is ready for PL.
Note that I sing both versions of "Pop Goes the Weasel." Here is the melody I used: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pop_goes_the_Weasel_(piano_arrangement_with_dance_description,_1853).jpg
