Revision as of 08:27, 15 March 2009

Structural examples:

The structure looks like this:

  • Work Type on Basis Work Composer: Basis Work for Instrumentation in Key Scale, Opus Number No.
  • Done with tables is devilishly hard, especially to get the spacing right. And you can't put them in lists.
Work Type on Basis Work Composer : Basis Work for Instrumentation in Key Scale , Catalog ID and Catalog # No.

and looks like this:

  • 6 Variations on Antonio Salieri: La fiera di Venezia: "Mio caro Adone" for Piano in G major, K. 173c / KV 180 No. 3
  • 7 Variations on Dutch Traditional: "Wilhelmus van Nassau" for Piano in D major, K. 25 No. 2
  • (Too hard to get colors right, I'm bored...)

Comments

Nice job :) I fought with moin for a good while to get it to do the hidden table (for the Da capo table), never could get it right. Oh - if you think the moin color code here is nasty, umm, don't look at the source to the Mozart listing. :P -- BrianSchweitzer 14:21, 08 February 2008 (UTC)

Condensed version of the code, a bit more managable:

Work Type on Basis Work Composer : Basis Work for Instrumentation in Key Scale , Catalog ID and Catalog # No.

Using the tablestyle element for the border:none seems to be borked in moin, or it could be shorter. -- BrianSchweitzer 02:02, 09 February 2008 (UTC)

  • I'm not sure it's moin's fault. If I read the DOM Inspector's claims right, some part of our CSS is to blame (i.e., the border:none is applied, but a CSS rule for cells overrides it later). -- BogdanButnaru 16:44, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

It occurs to me, while colors might be nicer than square brackets, finding a color pair that is distinguishable between both colors and which won't have issues for this or that color-blindness, we might be better off just making use of tables, but in a different way (the "lego" look, if you will). I think we can ignore potentially implied spaces, too, since spacing already is described in the text and demonstrated within the examples, so this:

Work Type on Basis Work Composer : Basis Work for Instrumentation in Key Scale , Catalog ID and Catalog # No.

  • Actually, that boxed table ain't half bad. The only advantage colors/styles have is that it's easier to show the correspondence to the example. So for the example it's clear that La fiera di Venezia: "Mio caro Adone" is the Basis Work (some might be tempted to split it in two 'fields' at first view), and "No. 3" is the No. and not part the opus number (two of them in this case). Of course we could have both colors and boxes, so colorblind people get as much as we can, and the color helps the others, but that'll be harder to write. -- BogdanButnaru 16:44, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Something like this? -- BrianSchweitzer 17:50, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Work Type on Basis Work Composer : Basis Work for Instrumentation in Key Scale , Catalog ID and Catalog # No.

Could even box out the example, then list the text version, like this, reserving color for the structure line, and bold for the new introductions to the structure: -- BrianSchweitzer 18:05, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
