Thread Name: Need clone to fix CD liner notes threads
Subject: Need clone to fix CD liner notes threads
A few posts to the Mudcat CD liner notes threads have errors in them that have the potential of impeding the effort to compile and format liner notes.
Some were posted to the wrong thread. Others contain lyric errors. Still others, which were posted as EXAMPLES of preferred formatting have formatting errors.

Rather than further mess up the flow and coherence of the liner notes threads, I am posting the links and HTML codes to the problematic posts here. (The HTML code gets lost in PMs.)

Here are the posts that need to be deleted:

Orchid CD
Thread posts to delete:

the chord formatting is messed up in this "Example"

The line breaks within verses are missing, and this post is presented as a "HOW-TO" illustration. (There's a link below to the properly formatted version to post in its place.)

Formatting on the verses messed up - this is SUPPOSED to be ILLUSTRATING proper format.

This lyric correctin note is no longer necessary; in fact, it is confusing.


Violet CD

- The chord formatting is messed up in this "Example." Also, the song is not on this CD, and I think that may confuse people.

-- This is the properly formatted and lyric-corrected post of "The Blacksmith," which I had posted in 4 liner notes threads as an example of how and what information to post. It ended up with errors in 3 of the 4 threads. Please delete it from the Violet liner notes thread (since it's not on that CD) and post in the Orchid liner notes thread (since it IS on that CD. I will then post a LINK to it on the other 4 CD liner notes threads. That way, it will not confuse people about the contents of the CDs.

-- This post won't be needed or make sense if the other two are deleted.


Rose CD
http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=55151#857609 - lyric error (and the song is not on this CD


Plum CD
http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=55150#855775- messed up chord formatting on this "Example"


http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=55150&messages=10#865896?threadid=55150&messages=10
Jed's post of "Lilac Acres" - I put it into the Orchid thread, where it belongs, so please delete it from the Plum liner notes thread.

- This is Jed's post about not being sure he posted his lyrics to the right thread. It won't make sense after his lyric post is moved to the Orchid thread.

-----------------------------------

I hope this temporary thread will make it easier for you elves to fix the important errors in the liner notes threads. (All the posts to be deleted are mine except for the one where Jed says he doesn't think he posted to the right thread.)

The less confusing those liner notes threads are, the more likely it is that CD contributors will post the needed information, well formatted, and the more likely it is that a good set of liner notes can be had before too long.

Thanks,
