<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Thanks, Mick -- the weekend would be fine with me. Maybe best to have someone who has some familiarity with the old book, and in general with the folkways of FM.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I may have mentioned this before, but there's one specific formatting issue I'd like you (or whoever reviews) to consider, aside from whatever else comes up. In the Menu Bar chapter there is extensive use of tables to
hold the menu information. As I did wherever possible, here I preserved the formatting from the original book, where these tables were set to zero cell padding and no border. This worked well enough in the original version, when each cell entry was at most
a single sentence in length, and it resulted in a nice clean design. However, Audacity 2.x's much more extensive use of submenus forced me to make considerably longer entries in some of those table cells, and I'm not certain how readable the end result is
for some tables. I think the solution would be pretty straightforward: either adding a bit of cell padding to each table, or adding a narrow border. But I didn't want to go either way without consultation. I don't think this issue afflicts any chapter beyond
the Menu Bar ch.</p>
