Well... I didn't notice it.
So I think it's fine? I'm pretty sure I'm pronouncing 'cene' as 'cen-ne', so...

I spliced this in this morning and have no complaints.
The Thing is... maybe half done?

I guess it depends how ancestral that Numenorean thing with willingly giving up your life is. Maybe all Edain did it, right up until whichever Tar decided to stop!

Speaking of that, I am sadly not making good progress on Aria. I was definitely overexcited for it, and I'm getting the same problem as with Oath and Renunciation: I can write the notes, but it doesn't sound right. I kept trying to fix it, but I might just erase the whole thing and start from scratch. |
Oh dear. :-/ Having completely thrown out the original character portraits that one time, I completely understand - but that doesn't make it any less painful.

Oh bother. :-/ Yeah, their fade-in effect sometimes drifts slightly, leaving them visible right at the start. I'll fix it soon.
Quick question: in the event that any other male singing voices turn out to exist, I've obviously snagged Finrod as the one I'm keeping for myself. Is there one of the female leads you'd like to similarly mark as yours? Just in case I actually stumble across a singer who's interested.
EDIT: I've
fixed the Minions, and updated the doc to match. Found a similar issue in the ongoing Quenya Lament, so I'll make sure to keep an eye on it from now on!
