Lyric Version Stacks

Purpose

Keep all versions of a lyric or song together before choosing placement.

This note does not pick winners. It does not delete, merge, or replace versions. It only groups related files so they can be reviewed as one stack.

Rule

All versions stay preserved.

When a song has multiple versions, place the whole stack together in the map first. Decide later which version is working, final, archived, or still useful.

Temp review folder

Copies for review are staged in:

`99_Archive\Lyric Review Process\Lyric Review Temp`

The temp folder is only for easier reading and comparison. Originals remain in their source folders.

Extracted text folder

Searchable Markdown text extracted from the temp PDFs is staged in:

`99_Archive\Lyric Review Process\Lyric Review Temp - Extracted Text`

This extracted text was not mirrored to `D:\CTE`.

Extraction check:

• 24 PDFs extracted into 24 Markdown notes.
• `Play_260412_161006.pdf` extracted very short and should be checked visually against the PDF.
• `A little chaos_260412_160423.pdf` extracted very short and should be checked visually against the PDF.

• Which file has the strongest lived-experience center
• Does the whole stack belong to Threshold, Witness, The Fragile World, Fragments, or the parking lot
• Should older versions become `ARCHIVED`, `HOLD`, or remain `WORKING`
