David Maxim Micic - Bilo I & Bilo II guitar songbook
In December 2024 I re-engraved David Maxim Micic's two EPs Bilo I and Bilo II and printed off a songbook. Because I like the music, I already had the official tablature, and after the moderate success of the Sources of Light book I wanted to make another one.
I also did some additional transcriptions for some of the solos that didn't seem accurate and all of the vocals as a transcription for those did not exist.
I used Sibelius 6 and the pdfcpu
command line utility, in addition to a mild
dearth of scripts I wrote to automatically add page numbers, etc.
Inkscape was used to "design" the cover and spine, such as they are. I literally did my best. Pretty sure I spelled everything correctly.
Krita was used to convert the cover to CYMK (there has to be a better way to do this on Linux but I have not found it yet).
The book was 108 pages. I used BookBaby for printing as I had used them before and was satisified with the quality. It cost $108 to print one book.
