I am looking for someone(s) who would like to take on entering melody lines for about 200+ items from Allen Slave Songs (online) and similar sources, in Noteworthy Composer. Note/lyric matching is desired but not required. This would be part of the African American Spirituals project here at Mudcat, which is already a unique resource. Adding MIDIs would be a huge contribution to the world's opportunity to appreciate this body of folk music.
The reason for prioritizing these specific collections is that recorded versions, MIDIs, and print versions for most other known spirituals already exist, many in an online, downloadable form. Also the Allen, Hampton, and Higginson material tends not to duplicate other material in known print works.
Questions, answers, and coordination of efforts-- right here in this thread.
