Hi Claire

well, Elijah has already extensively replied to you, so I can only confirm what he said. That is the main reason why I suggested you say "section" instead of "chapter" in your intro/outro.

I would suggest though: record the entire chapter in ONE section and edit and then see how long the final file is. If it is under 74 minutes, it will fit into one section and you don't have to do anything. If it is longer, you could find a natural break in the flow of the story, preferably around the middle, but doesn't have to be exactly half, and cut there. Then you only have to re-record a new intro/outro for both sections.

And then you can insert a new section in the MW if needed. Elijah explained the process in his post.

Awesome, thank you both so much for the explanations! Makes total sense, and I'll definitely record the whole chapter first to verify the entire timing.

How dare Sonia be asleep when there are non-pressing questions to be answered! I can't believe the entire world doesn't revolve around US Eastern time zone!!

By the way, I'm totally kidding! I know we're all volunteers in different time zones, and don't expect answers back immediately :)

Have a nice day all!
Cheers,
Claire

:lol: your question came in at half past 3 in the morning here... I was definitely in snooze-land by that time. (though I am a night-owl, but it's a working day, so better get some sleep in.)

Hi! Sections and 3 and 4 have been added to the MW. I broke chapter 3 into two sections since it was so long of a chapter. I mean, I knew Cleopatra had issues, but WOW!
Cheers,
Claire
