Home, day whichever
Dec. 23rd, 2003 02:30 pmThey're all the same anyway....
Saw Robin off to the airport, promptly came home and slept until 1. Cousins are around... I don't know if it's my imagination, but it feels like the Jordans as a whole seem to be treating much more coldly than they have in the past. Maybe I'm just projecting my own self-imposed isolation onto them.
Started typing up a new script for Rocky, then realized that typing it up in MS Word would suck, a lot. So I'm now in the process of downloading MikTeX onto this laptop. Granted, it can only take the small distribution, and I'm exceedingly new to TeX, so I have a request:
I'd like to build a 'script' template. The script would be divided into scenes, maybe automatically numbered, each one with a heading and small description. Things that don't fit into the scene structure well could be labelled interlueds instead, also perhaps numbered.
A scene would be composed of three sorts of pieces: lines, stage directions, and songs. A line has the name in the narrow left column, and the text on the right - should be easy enough to do. A stage direction is italicized, in parentheses, and centered on the page. A song is in two columns, one for the lead and the other for backups, with the names of the singers at the top of the columns and the whole thing in all caps. Optimally, the song title is also displayed at the top.
The whole thing is also in full-page 8.5x11 format so I don't have to use more pages than I have to.
If you're all too lazy to send me tips for this, can I at least get a copy of the infamous homework template, so I can maybe reverse engineer it?
You all are cool people and don't forget.
Happy belated Solstice, by the way, for any of that persuasion.
