TECHNICAL NOTES

Most music on this website is in the form of vocal chant. Chant follows the rhythm of the text, and thus there are frequent meter changes. For more information read:

SPECIAL NOTE TO THOSE WHO DOWNLOAD MUSIC FROM THIS WEBSITE:

We are constantly adding, updating, and correcting music files. Since I am responsible for entering the music in a computer to create these files, and for maintaining this website, I occasionally make typographic and formulaic errors. We prefer that the latest versions with corrections should be used by Church chanters and choirs, so if you have downloaded music in the past, and something does not seem right, please check for updated versions and replace the old ones.

PRINTING FROM PDF READERS - SPECIAL NOTE:

When you print a hard copy from a PDF Reader, please be sure that the "Page Scaling" setting is "None" or 100%. If not, your document may be reduced in size and the margins widened. This will upset the creation of files that are in booklet form (printed both sides in landscape mode and folded.)

INTERNATIONAL PAPER SIZES:

The documents on this websited are formatted for standard American paper sizes, that is, 8.5 x 11 inches (letter-size) and 8.5 x 14 inches (legal-size). If you are printing a document letter-sized paper (most hymns), use the international A4 printer setting. For legal-sized documents, (most booklets) use B4. NOTE: Using A4 and B4 will cause a wider margin at the top and bottom of the pages.
