Shelley,
I am not certain that I am visualizing the case you are describing but I am
willing to venture that you are working from good instincts based on your
experience with LP and Braille hymnals. We do modify format at times in order
to accommodate alternate outputs like Braille. Changing format for readability
and navigability in limited cases like this is fine so long as you are not
changing the author's words or intent. Even format change should be the
exception but the case could be made that accessibility requires that sort of
change at times in order to actually retain the readability and navigability
intended to structure into the print version.
Scott

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Hymn books by Robert Morgan
Hi everyone,
Got a question,
In the book I am currently scanning, it tells the stories behind famous hymns,
around Christmas, the hymns are written as they would in the hymnal, with 1,
then 2, then 3 then 4 first lines and so on and so forth.
so it would look like this. 1a, 2a, 3a, 4a, 1 b, 2b, 3b, 4b, 1c, 2c, 3c, 4c, ...
Can, I move them into the way that it appears in most Large print hymnals or
Braille hymnals, where it is all of verse one, then verse two, then verse three
and so on and so forth. they way it scanned it would be a Low vision reader's
nightmare trying to read and or scan the words of the song.,
Let me know what you all think. As this will change the formatting of the book
but would make it readable and enjoyable. I can put a scanner's note in the
front to this effect.
