Oy!Here's my plan: I decided I am going to build the spirituals index in Excel, searching by keywords, pasting in URL's by Copy Shortcut. Then I can paste the song title into that field and then I can search-replace around the URL to add the blicky coding, and line breaks, and let Excel aphabetize them. I should end up with a converted text file of working, alphabetized links.
Then I think I will do forum searches and supersearches using the titles of known spirituals from the OTHER index of spirituals I am building from various online databases-- spirituals that have appeared in known printed works or online collections.
I wonder if a method your group could use would be taking DT song titles and doing forum Filter and Supersearches on those? You would have two windows open, or three-- one with the search box and one with DT titles, then you'd copy from the DT title list and paste in the search box? That's how I will do my searches-by-title I think.
Any other tips you can share with me?
