I too visualise the parallel placement of SignWriting with Common Practice Notation. But for me I'd put the signs below the music line where I'd expect to see the words. The synchronising of SignWriting symbols with CPN and English text is obviously something beyod the capabilities of SignWriter (even version 5 with all its improvements). Being a computing scientist by profession I've returned to an idea I floated here several months ago of using TeX to typeset SignWriting. (There are already Music packages for TeX so I'd be 1/8 the way toward the goal.)

Eagerly waiting for these messages. :-) They may change my mind (and therefore ease my work) about a TeX based solution. Regards, Trevor British Sign Language is not inarticulate handwaving; it's a living language. So recognise it now. -- <>< Re: deemed! | ||||||||
