@Skillmon Very nice! :) My code was just a first experiment, so bear with me. :) PIL has a lot of ways of tunning colour quantization with ease, so congrats! :)
@PauloCereda Ah, interesting. I remember sometimes teachers quoted extracts from the New Testament. Easy reading compared with classical authors. Overall, Ecclesiastic Latin looks easier to follow.
@UlrikeFischer He'll probably notice at some point. Though I don't quite understand this users usecase for adding something to the text block on each page. I would just make the head space bigger and add it there.
@PauloCereda Taquirari is also a thing in Bolivia. Some "Argentinian" rhythms are in fact shared with Bolivia. Well, in any case, they sound far better than our "villancicos": youtube.com/watch?v=9kkc9l4djSM
@daleif ah, well from the code I would say you want shipout/background. shipout/before is not really meant for typesetting. The material ends up after the shipout.
@UlrikeFischer as I read the ops request the material should go into the text body, but I agree would be easier to have a larger header and use the bg hook
Sorry to bring bad news: I was informed that my former student and great TeXnician Gustavo (GuM, here) is no longer among us. I'm asking for a prayer or at least some moment to remember him.
