Subject: Vault key for Seven Drunken Nights
Hi,

Well, I tried this for a version of Seven Drunken Nights. The "Vault key" would be:
V:15,14,17,14;C:16,13,15,14.

But for some of the lines, this is rather dependent upon the version, with the number of syllables varying quite a bit from verse to verse. And of course, structurally, the song is 14 syllables per line throughout.

If we were do this, how would we handle that?
