IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

No problem! Your MW is up and ready for you! I did shorten the file name because it was a mile long, but if you want to change it further, feel free to do so. We will wait here a day or so to see if we can pick up a DPL!

Section 1 PL OK!

I'll PL more as I can, until you have a DPL. Will that be all right?
