Hi, thank you for reverting my flawed edit just now. I had tried and failed to reinstate the correct musical notation, which your recent extensive edit (very good work in most respects) overwrote with the wrong version. I will edit one more time to display the correct version Much_Binding_theme_song.jpg ... please would you not revert that. If in doubt, please find an audio recording of the show, and compare my version with that. Thanks! [[User:Ptelford|Ptelford]] ([[User talk:Ptelford|talk]]) 05:14, 17 July 2024 (UTC) |

Hi. I went here instead at UC's talk page since I will set up a peer review again maybe next month and ping UC, Fuchs, and also you. But, I wanted to let you check if the reception section has improved or are you satisfied with it? Thanks! 🍕[[User:Boneless Pizza!|<span style="background:orange;border-radius:9999px;padding:1px 8px;color:white;"><span style="font-weight:bold">Boneless</span> Pizza!</span>]]🍕 ([[User talk:Boneless Pizza!|🔔]]) 09:52, 19 August 2024 (UTC) |

:Oh dear, I should quite possibly stfu at this point instead of sticking my oar in but here is my unsolicited and possibly unwelcome offering: |
|||
:# I think that {{u|Ptelford}} is broadly correct about the rhythm |
|||
:# I think that {{u|Tim riley}}'s older version, whilst rhythmically erroneous, is mostly more nicely typeset. {{u|Ptelford}}'s, with the greatest of respect, does not look so good in terms of its musical layout, its greater accuracy notwithstanding. |
|||
:# I don't understand why we've typeset it in 2/2 rather than the perhaps more obvious 4/4. Can you ''hear'' that? I cannot, though I was always pretty rubbish at ABRSM aurals. It can go at a not unreasonably fast ~144 in 4/4 or a somewhat languorous ~72 in 2/2. Why is the latter preferable? Or has someone (Tim??) seen a published edition in this time sig? Clearly we would defer to the composer's intentions ... |
|||
:# Isn't there a dotted rhythm on the last beat two notes in the bar, on the words "in the"? I've listened to it rather a lot since I saw this conversation and I am sure I can hear it. |
|||
:What this is all leading up to is a feeling that I could have a go at it and offer you something which I feel improves on what we have in the above respects. Shall I? I don't want to be annoying but it's just the sort of thing that interests me.

::Please do. It is well over 60 years since I was taught music theory, and I shall be v. happy to have my amateur effort replaced by something more professional.

:::Thanks Tim! I already know about your generosity of spirit but that's a very nice reply. I might have a bash at it. Further assumptions: |
|||
:::# leave it in C, actual key notwithstanding, for a spectrum of good reasons; |
|||
:::# I might do versions in both time sigs then others can debate; |
|||
:::# I could nail it down further by buying the sheet music but I feel that the expenditure is a bit OTT for a rather marginal matter. |

::::In the nature of things, and what with all life being a disappointment, these files are also not as good as I would like them to be! Gah. I had forgotten what a Royal Pain ITA it is doing lyrics in Sibelius, and I have spent years now failing to learn Dorico. despite my belief that it might eventually make things easier.

Hi SC, just as a friendly warning, I'm hoping to have [[Corleck Head]] ready for a PR in early September and would be most appreciative if you could give some feedback. I badly need a skilled copyeditor to fix all the brogue-isms, and to spot gaps in coverage. Just also, [[User:DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered|DBaK]], I'm also going to tap you for help if thats fine; you always have intelligent things to say.
