Greetings, Yes, this is perfect! I am sheepish to admit that I do not quite understand the solution. For example, if I were to leave out the first measure in the code I submitted and then compiled, there appears a large gap between the penultimate and the final word of the spoken dialogue? Could you enlighten me as to this? Thank you again for your solution!
