Jerry Jackman Blog - week of 18 May 2015

Tuesday, 19 May 2015
     About half of the work is now finished on digitizing the sixteen volume Praiseworthy Singer series.
     During the morning finished corrections for Praiseworthy Singer, Book 6. 
     Book 7 is with Meridith Crowder, my associate Editor, for scrutinizing. 
     In the afternoon I attempted the layout for Book 8, but the scans were so sloppy that I ordered a new set after first doing all the work for the final layout.
     I ordered also ordered new scans for Hymn Preludes from the Tabernacle, Book 1. 
     This afternoon, we checked four choral press proofs from our printer, plus a press proof for the folio With Strings Attached Book 1, piano accompaniment, by Darwin Wolford.
     Book 9 of Praiseworthy Singer—The populated layout was completed close to 5:30 p.m. 
     Though much of the scanned archive is passable, I had to repair about half of the pages on the fly by white-opagueing out black shadows and straightening alignments. One page I will need to re-engrave because of light leaking into the scanner bed over the music.
