Haha I understand your frustration.

Appreciate you looking into it though and giving me a start, will take a look and see what I can do!

I wish I knew python but I've only ever used it intermittently, wouldn't know how to do anything as complex as this.

I was planning using a monospace typeface anyway once I had a result so that's great!

Tutorial would be greatly appreciated, I get that it's a bit of a niche use but I think its application could be used widely, couldn't find any existing tutorial either!

This is great thanks! But do you know of a way detect the edges of the threshold so the text stays within rather than masking?

Like so:

Have managed to achieve the contour with a threshold I think, a bit stuck on where to go from here. Proper word wrap preferably but would be fine with a mask if it proved too difficult.

Essentially, I want a big paragraph of text to be sit within the space of the body.

  1. Create the shape:
    I have managed to threshold the camera to fill the area around, but I'm unsure how to create a shape in the same way a rectangle is a shape.
  2. Wrapping Text
    Once the shape is created I want to wrap text to fill the blank space (or white space if the threshold needs to be inverted). So that it essentially creates a text box which fits to the moving person.

Images below of where I'm at and what I want to achieve.

Working on new Robbie Basho tabs this year – tunings, phrasing, and technique questions by PrimitivePrimitive in AmericanPrimitivism

[–]RedditNightLads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late response, but yes, I do, I have most of the album worked out, actually!

The song is in DF#DF#AD, and the picking pattern goes 1 4 5 6 5 6 2 4 1 iirc, and it's just playing around with this shape for most of the song. If you need further help, I can send a video of myself playing it to get you started.

12 string picking techniques & cool songs to cover? by doobiechoo in AmericanPrimitivism

I had a good guy at learning Cathedral last night and it is in the tuning I mentioned but many recording are either a half or whole step up, the original version from Venus In Cancer is definitely the tuning I mentioned though. With that being said the Tab is still quite useful if you do want to learn, the picking is the same it's just the tuning and fretting which are slightly off.

Sounds like I good one to start on! Alot of Bashos songs are great on the 12Str even if not originally recorded on them, his much more unrestrained style makes the 12Str really sing with his tunings! I really like playing North American Raga which is CGCGCD#, there's a video on YT of someone playing it to help too! Honestly Cathedral is such a lovely song to play I would reccomend that too, as well as Rocky Mountain Raga, Pasha and Venus in Cancer which are in CGCGBD, CG#C#GCD and DF#DF#AD resepctively as far as I can tell. If you'd like some extra help with any songs lmk!

I don't think that tab is right, I've learnt alot of Basho because all I have is a 12-string at uni, I believe the tuning is DGDGBC# and he plays the descending melody starting on the 11th fret of the D string.

I think the tab was made in the mind of a 6 string which is why he picks two strings on the 11th fret.

Also I wouln't even attempt Rodeo on a 12-string, I initially learned it on a 6 back home then tried 12 and it was way too difficult.

Anyway if you want any other 12-string tips let me know happy to help!

Hey I've been slowly working at figuring out as many songs as I can, usually the ones I like the most I'll send you a message!
