Bacon (manuscript)
A bacon is an advantage in typesetting a manuscript . Above all, Speck have manuscripts with a lot of prefabricated standing sentences , exclusions or images with only a few letters between them . Bacon is a term that dates back to the time of the chord setters, but is still in use today.
As bacon referred typesetter only partially with Scripture -filled sides of a printing form , blank pages, half-title and repeated use end and therefore deferred title or heading rows that have a corresponding re-use for the translator is beneficial because it causes him some work.
A bacon manuscript therefore contains:
- many pictures
- not completely filled pages
- empty pages
- little new information
- composite from what is already there
- Etc.
The advantages lie in the very quick compilation of a "new" manuscript.
A setter who shuns a lot of work and therefore prefers leaves with bacon is also called a bacon hunter .
