Honestly, sed -i is so useful that I'd file a feature request if a sed didn't support it.

Orkestrix is nice. I understand you don't want to use LilyPond because it is too complex, but you may want to know that LilyPond comes with a tool to convert from ABC to LilyPond (abc2ly). One could use it to write the music examples in ABC

Both GNU sed and BSD sed have -i, what other kinds of sed are you using?

Why an ebook is available in Brazil (where I am) and not in UK is beyond my understanding.

I'm the author of this article. The main problem I found with EPUB and MOBI is how they are implemented in each reader. For instance, kindle 2 doesn't format tables correctly, while kindle 3 does. iBooks has some undocumented bugs that make

Interesting. I agree that using something like Pages or Scrivener (I love Scrivener) can help you to focus on the writing and I wish I could have used them to write my book [1]. However, I'm curious to know how he handled code examples; d

A trick to generate a cycle of fourths or fifths is to multiply a chromatic scale by 5 or 7, respectively: notes_name([n*7 for n in range(0, 12)])

The following solution defines a function to transpose each scale taking advantage of the mathematical properties of notes: def notes_name(numbers): notes = "C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B".split() return [notes[(number

But a PDF doesn't have to be A4/Letter. I published a book recently (ebook in PDF, ePub and mobi and paperback) and decided to use 6.69 x 9.61 inches for the PDF. I found that this size looks good on paper and on screen.

One way is to go to the kindle store, choose the kind of book you want (Amazon calls it a "Department") and sort by price. For instance, here are programming books: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_st?bbn=726697011&qid=1345... It's not
