Hi there,

I indeed worked on a book containing a lot of church songs in several
different kinds of notation. Varying from a full score with choir and
organ, which wasn't an issue at all, to a setting with long notes on each
of which a long sentence had to be sung, which seemed impossible until I
discovered that it could be done by using an 'invisible' melody for the
lyrics.

I wonder, was it the Nederlands Bijbelgenootschap that needs the book?
I worked on one of their books before...... with lilypond.



Regards,
Wilco.
