🎹Piano | Tell — Recital HOWTO

Pallas I'm a neutral party.

Definitely neutral party here as well I also want to make crystal clear that I'm very happy to volunteer together with Pallas, but I can't guarantee that the future of P|T recitals will exactly match how things are done at PW. I'm just setting expectations here... especially now that PW is in a bit of a tight spot. I don't want to give the impression that we're able (or even willing) to take over 100% of what Sam did/does over there.

But I'm sure we'd be able to come up with something that's just as beautiful - just perhaps a little different. If that's acceptable, then we're looking forward to do our share in making it a bright recital future here at P|T

navindra The thread is open for comments from everyone.

If I understand correctly, each recital will be housed in a single discussion thread containing:

• An introductory message from the Recital Coordinator (RC), followed by
• Submissions from recital participants (which need to be submitted prior to the recital deadline), followed by
• Comments from everyone

I think it's a good plan! Depending on how much time the RCs can dedicate, I think the following items would be nice to add to the introductory message, once the deadline has passed:

• A playlist of all youtube submissions
• A table of contents that can double as a template for comments. For example, if this thread were a recital, then:

RECITAL SUBMISSIONS

navindra - I'm Running A Bit Behind (Chopin)
TC3 - Looks Good (Elton John)
HeartKeys - Thanks for All the Diligence (Prokofiev)

Users could then make comments by copying/pasting the above and then adding their comments:

navindra - I'm Running A Bit Behind (Chopin) You sound like you are on tempo and not behind at all!
TC3 - Looks Good (Elton John) You are looking good!
HeartKeys - Thanks for All the Diligence (Prokofiev) Sounds like a really hard piece that I would never be able to perform.

(EDIT: Is there any way to view the actual markup of a post? If I quote the "table of contents" in the usual manner, it doesn't come out properly).

navindra Good question. Only if you Edit I think, which RCs will be able to do... but there may be another way of doing it that I haven't found yet.

The problem is that RCs wouldn't be the one making comments--it would be the other users. So other users trying to use my template would end up with this:

navindra - I'm Running A Bit Behind (Chopin) You sound like you are on tempo and not behind at all!
TC3 - Looks Good (Elton John) You are looking good!
HeartKeys - Thanks for All the Diligence (Prokofiev) Sounds like a really hard piece that I would never be able to perform.

This sort of works, but it's not as good.

Another possibility is for the RCs to mark the template as code, but then it doesn't serve its purpose as a "Table of Contents":

**@"navindra"#p9004 - I'm Running A Bit Behind (Chopin)**
**@"TC3"#p9051 - Looks Good (Elton John)**
**@"HeartKeys"#p9222 - Thanks for All the Diligence (Prokofiev)**

I guess RCs could post a "Table of Contents" and a "Comment template" separately, but hopefully there's a better solution.

Is everything still on schedule for an August recital? I'm excited! (Also, I'm not totally prepared.)
