Boy, I wish we could get to that place. We still have 10-15% of our congregation using the hymnal when we do a hymn.
I wish I had the nerve to ask them why they preferred the hymnal. But I'm not sure I'm ready for the answer.

I have only notice one lady who still gets out the hymnal and surprisingly enough she is in her 40's, not who you would expect.

I've had Senior Saint thank me for the projections, because they can finally see the words.
The ones I see are in their 50s or so, but some 20s.

Some people prefer the hymnal because of the musical notes, and the cues given by spacing and dashes on how to sing the song.

Which, in turn, brings us back to ask "Do we add punctuation to songs?"

Since SongSelect 3.0 was discontinued, I am having to spend a lot of time downloading songs from CCLI and then adding punctuation where, and if, needed. It seems to me that the songs in SongSelect were punctuated, but the downloaded ones have no punctuation. Boy, I would pay money (a little!) to get SongSelect back. Anyone know of a method? I have the original disks.
As for the need for punctuation there was a long thread on the subject over at ChurchMedia.net. I was just downloading some xmas carols last night and thought that some (e.g., Joy to the World, O Come, O Come Emmanuel) would be difficult to understand w/o punctuation. I understand the advantages of abbreviations, no punctuation, etc. in text messaging. It's unfortunate, I believe, that way of writing carries over into, what should be, normal communication. Some songs are just a series of simple statements and can be projected w/o punctuation, others are fairly sophisticated poetry, the rythym and meaning of which might be missed without some punctuating helps.
Just an old guy talking ...
