Wow! Are you going to keep this online? If so, I can link to it from the RT home page. Excellent job! Q, are all the notes right? Ben

Azul,
I just re-checked this page (the anthem score) from a remote location, and couldn't access it; got an error message about a "bad c map encoding." Anyone else have that problem?

Of course all the notes are right! I received confirmation via email this morning that the folks in the UK received the PDF file and that it suits their needs perfectly. (I have no idea what that weird error message was that Ben got -- it works fine on this end, and more importantly, it worked fine for the folks across the pond!) And now I have only two words for you: bagpipe setting. ;D

LOL! Speaking of which... I have found two North African Latin words for "bagpipes." I would like to use both of them somehow--there aren't two basic kinds of bagpipes, are there?
Ben
P.S. No clue here about the .pdf problem either.

Not really -- different languages have the different names for the instrument, of course, but structurally they're all variations on the same thing: a bag (traditionally made out of some sort of animal hide) with a blowpipe through which the player fills the bag with air, and at least one "pipe" with a reed which sounds notes. There are, of course, indigenous varieties of bagpipes in North Africa and all around the Mediterranean, so perhaps one of the words you found could mean "native" Talossan (or North African) bagpipes and the other any other sort, or perhaps one word would mean an instrument with a hide bag and the other one an instrument with a synthetic bag (of which there are several varieties now -- all sorts of interesting technology!)
And FWIW the tune works great on the Scottish Highland pipes. I've already worked out the setting in my head and have been practicing it on my bagpipes. I just need to get it written down!

Well, as Talossa's resident bagpipe expert, I'll try and find the two words for "bagpipes" and post them here so you can make an official choice of what should be the official Talossan word for bagpipes. >And FWIW the tune works great on the Scottish Highland pipes. I've already worked out the setting in my head and have been practicing it on my bagpipes. I just need to get it written down! Then we need a recording... can you do a MIDI file of bagpipes for the home page? Ben

Hmm... I don't actually have any MIDI bagpipe sound on any of my keyboards! It's no problem to record myself actually playing it on my pipes though... would a WAV or MP3 file work for you?
