Thread Name: New website, old songs (Bruce O.)
Subject: RE: New website, old songs
My website is really old popular style (and sometimes not rally that either) and themes, the roots of folk. Rather few are directly folk as sung in the last 100 years.

It seems to me that most are going to want to scroll though to just to see whats' there, and even where there's a later folk version the title or first line won't be the same. How should it be organized? I realize the code name, ABCDEFG, etc., for tunes (in S1 and S2) is a bit awkward for finding the tune, but I don't have a better one yet.

How long a file is too long? My word processor can load 1 magabyte in about 10 seconds and the search command on a keyword can usually scan through the file in aout 5 seconds. My options would be to copy the file and look at it in my word processor. Web browsers take too much ram to do that well.
