Whether this is my final project or not is moot. There’s a long story behind this effort. What I am doing is getting a usable copy of my data out to the public where all the work is independent of my unique and now obsolescent database and its various interfaces. All that is required to critique or even recreate my work is the 18 volumes of the e-books, and the music and batch files if you wanted to make changes or reproduce the music in a different form.
Only a few people are really interested at this time. But suppose you were regularly involved with chanting the Tanach, here it all is in principle in a form that is easy to learn from. I can imagine this being used in the yearly cycle of Torah, Haftarah, and feast day recitations.
Or suppose you really decided that learning the Hebrew Bible was important to you. Here is the data in a transparent form complete with tone of voice.
(That doesn't mean that you would easily understand it-- in fact understanding is not the point, it's love that is the point -- and who can possibly understand that!)
Also easily duplicatable are my programs and functions to create the Music XML from a Unicode base. The programmers at mgketer.org could do this easily if they chose. They have a better starting point with their database than I had when I wrote the program a baker's dozen or so years ago.
So my data and methods can dissolve into the ether with me, but my presentation of the text is unique at present and can continue within the bounds of the technology that carries it. All you need is an e-book reader. Anyone can read it on a phone or computer that has the right software. And maybe it will see a print version some day.
But suppose that you wanted to have control over the content of the e-book. I recommend Calibre, and a music program -- I use Musescore (4.5.1 at present). You don't need either of these to read the text and music, only if you want to modify the text or music. If you are going to build the text again based on your modifications, you may also need the batch files that take the single line pages and convert them to verses that fit into the e-book. That's much easier than putting it all in a database.
Status today is 63% of chapters done, slightly over 55% of verses.
Complete books:
Job - available for review or pre-review purchase here.
Psalms, the Five Scrolls, - ready for production process,
Proverbs, Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy, Isaiah, Jeremiah, The Twelve, - Music complete, awaiting short summary of the music of the volume, then to production process,
Leviticus, half-way through the music, estimated completion in a few days.
The remaining 8 volumes are in a stub form, i.e. the e-book framework is ready for the first chapter. There are about 75 days remaining for me to work at 5 chapters a day - roughly 20 minutes per chapter - reviewing the verses that have internal returns to the tonic, running the html and music programs, sculpting the music, and loading it into the e-book. I hope I have time to finish. Then I would like to read and chant the entire Bible, but I don't think I have time to do that so I will have to run some routines to see if there are significant differences that can be pointed out in a short intro to each volume. The full introductory paragraphs are only in the Job volume.
Anyone who has followed my work probably needs little introduction to the presentation.
