Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

As you are walking, chewing on a fallen piece of licorice a haunting feeling travels slowly up your spine, and the daylight starts to disappear. "Are the trees getting closer together" you wonder as the last remaining piece of daylight vanishes. You are shrouded in darkness, and then a haunting melody begins. "This is a song of death!" you cry, however you understand your duty to the world of Candyland, and you begin to transcribe the song as best you can, in the pitch blackness. When the song ends, the trees open back up and the temperature rises about 15 degrees. You quickly run out of licorice forest and see what you were able to get this time. Before you can do that you trip over what appears to be a modern day score of the song. "That was rock-a-bye baby?" you question, thinking that what you heard in that forest was unrecognizable. You still pick up the score and compare the score to your neumes. Unfortunately you were able to get no lyrics from the songs except the first one. "Rock" The haunting command echoes in your mind as you quickly pack up your things and continue on your path. Maybe things in Candyland are worse than you thought.
