Subject: RE: Lyr Req: after words to the song 'six ribbons
G'day again,

harmoniclive: Welcome to the Mudcat! I take you don't date back far enought to have seen the television attempt to depict Douglas Adams' Hitch-hikers' Guide to the Galaxy. The point where Arthur presses the right button and saves the spaceship and occupants from certain death ... then remarks with true British reserve "It was nothing ..." - so they all turn around and go back to whatever they were doing before the missiles attacked - should be a good training session for Mudcat.

Congratulations - if belatedly - you saved me from ratting through 3000 books to find a slim promotional pamphlet that might have had the words ... and even the music. Keep up the good work ... but don't expect anyone as peculiarly obsessed as a folksinger to actually notice anything other than the tune / lyrics / whatever you have just kindly provided. (And, as for a folksinger/computer nerd ...)

Helen: I find a 300 dpi B/W image (which I usually save a GIF, because it slips straight into internet applications) is fine for music sheets. Your file saved as a JPG, so I presumed that was how it started out.

Programs: Although I used CorelDraw professionally in the Training & Publications Unit here at EnergyAustralia, I am not keen on Corel PhotoPaint. if I need conversion and manipulation facilities I usually use PaintShop Pro - sometimes PhotoShop or PhotoStyler for certain peculiarities ... but PaintShop Pro has picked up most of those functions and has the best conversion ability. MS Picture-It only gets used to see what something will look like in the worst circumstances!

Regards,

Bob Bolton
