ahoy all, as a simple thank you to the Scribus developers and great community, i would like to share a PDF libretto (similar to liner notes) we created for our recently released album "demonstrate". using Scribus 1.5.0 from SVN, along with support from this very list, we took hand drawn lyrics and artwork, scanned and converted to SVG (XSane, GIMP, Inkscape), imported into Scribus and then inserted the actual text as hidden beneath the SVG 'text', making the document searchable. probably not the most efficient or best way to get the desired result, but using the hand drawn text was important?to the artist and it was our first foray into this sort of thing .. we are musicians after all ;)
the final document (~10 MB) is available online directly at the following URL: http://in-giro.xyz/releases/demonstrate/artwork/libretto/ in addition, if you are interested in the full package so to speak, the music, along with the libretto and covers, is available for free/gratis/donation: http://in-giro.xyz i would be happy to share any of the 'techniques' gleaned whilst creating this document, as well as the source should anyone be interested. finally, thanks again to everyone involved with Scribus and the community at large. peace, w PS. i am currently on the road for a good bit, so while i will eventually respond to any replies, please be aware that it may take some time ;) -- http://waynedpj.in-giro.xyz
