    As a spin off from my Hybrid Notation (see on other threads on the forum) I am also creating digital illuminations. I did one of the Salve Regina a while back... it might be on this forum somewhere.

    Here is an illumination (low Rez) of the Pater Noster using a Russian Icon as the background. If you zoom in you will see things you cannot see from viewing at 100%.

    In JMJ,

    (Oops… forgot the te on the climacus.) Also, I think the dots on the punctum need to be larger. I like using dots between syllables instead of hyphens, and those dots would probably work well for the dots on the punctum. I am thinking of using conventional red staves on the Pater. Will post later on today.

    Do you all see anything else that could be improved upon before I start cranking out the rest of the prayers?

    The Pater will be the light background template and the Ave the dark background template, and I’m trying to set in place a good prototype template for each. The drop shadow on the neumes kind of works for the light background, but it might be overkill for the dark background.

    These are intended for a 6 x 9 devotional booklet for members of the Confraternity of the Holy Face and a newly established Sacred Music Society of Reparation. However, they could be printed as 11 x 17 or larger for scholas that use a music stand and a pointer.
