It is of course just fine, but I encountered a technological mess with the
images. I thought I should find out about vector graphics instead of bit map
graphics. What a tangle of confused compatibility between Word, Blogger, and
Calibre. Word would not accept directly an image in SVG format. Epub accepts
them and can convert them to Word. SVG images can be scaled without losing
focus, i.e. without pixelation. Whatever I do, I like it to be easy. I might
have time to physically place 2,500 images for the Psalms, but scarcely likely
to be able to take on the other 20,000 individual verse images for the rest of
the Bible. And technological compatibility is key to any efficiency, let alone
control over the resulting number of files.
There are a lot of books and music to be developed as part of understanding
and hearing these ancient voices.
Anyway, after painstakingly designing to a single, double, or triple line of
music to produce a cropped image, I was able to get good formatting in the
epub and it converted to Word with terrible decisions on fonts and sizes but
was successful in converting the images. I won't pursue this any further, but
here is Obadiah -- all 21 verses in a pdf form with reasonable
reproduction.
It is formatted as poetry in my old Jerusalem Bible, which after 50 years I am
still using. But one really has to stretch to think of it as poetic. The
message overall is a judgment against Edom. We met Edom in the music of
the successions of Esau. The judgment is against him because he stood by and even was happy at the
trouble his brother Jacob was in. It's difficult to read against today's
warfare.
What can we make of Obadiah's music?
