Vivian T. Williams's board-to-board with WikiSysop
Hi Vivian,
do you know that the e-mail address linked to your TTA account is no longer reachable? That's why I get many error emails from the system. This is not a problem: not for me nor for the system but you may not be receiving important information that you would like to be made aware of.
I am writing to you in this chat because that is the only way I can try to reach you. I am at your disposal if you need help.
Thank you very much

I fixed Orvetta Waltz before I saw your last message. I like the uncrowded spacing better, even though it makes it longer. But I was unable to make the tune parts (A,B,C, etc) show up. Either version is fine with me! Thanks for correcting my mistakes! Vivian
Yes, that's better than what I came up with!
Vivian,
see the https://tunearch.org/wiki/Sandbox for or an acceptable (I think) version of Orvetta Waltz.
Let me know please what you think.

Finally,
there is a tool in TTA called ABCSandbox where you can input you abc notation and verify that it works for the TTA; It is at https://tunearch.org/wiki/ABCSandbox (find it in the SideBar) and a big ABC instructions page (ABC standard 2.1) at https://tunearch.org/wiki/TTA:AbcStandard that can be of great help.
Thank you.

...also,
you should avoid putting html tags on your annotations and, in general, in every page (article) written in wiki-markup (the MediaWiki/Wikipedia language).
Otherwise the result is what you see in https://tunearch.org/wiki/Annotation:Top_o'_the_Hill_(3).
Simply write the text of your annotation; the system takes care of (almost) everything else.

Vivian,
in Guy Tetreault's Reel you left a space at the beginning of the ABC notation lines.
That's why the score didn't appear.
In TTA if you start a line of text with a space, that line is saved as it is (verbatim) with no possibility for the system to process it and then turn it into a sheet music.
It's a rule (or if you want a limit) of the MediaWiki framework (the same that animates Wikipedia).
Please go see how I corrected it and how Guy Tetreault's Reel looks like now.
Thanks for your contribution.
