SRS is talking about my American Songbag project. I'm trying to ensure that the Sandburg versions of all the songs in that book get posted, and everyone is welcome to help out. Sooner or later, I'd like to have MIDI versions of all the tunes, too. In this case, I've been posting the Sandburg versions in existing threads on the songs I'm posting; but sometimes I will post all the songs from a single source in a single thread (too many for that in this project). If at all possible, I avoid making one-message threads and I do my best to find existing threads for posting additional versions of songs [On the other hand, it's a problem when people post unrelated songs in a single thread]. I put ADD or lyr ADD in the message title, plus the title of the song in Title Case, never ALLCAPS.

Here are the song-posting instructions that are posted in the FAQ:

we'd love to have any folk lyrics you'd like to post at the Mudcat Cafe. All lyrics that are submitted stay in the forum, and people can find them using our search engines. Many of the lyrics are also "harvested" and included in the Digital Tradition Folk Song Database, which now has lyrics for some 9,000 songs (you can access the database in the blue DigiTrad search box you find on most Mudcat pages).
If you'd like to post a song, first check that database to see whether it's already there or not. Make sure you put the lyrics in a thread that has a title that's related to the song (like an ongoing thread that's collecting train songs, if that's appropriate; or a thread you start that has the song title as the title of the thread.). The SUBJECT line for the message with the lyrics should include this information:
Lyr ADD: title of song here

Ideally, you should follow the Digital Tradition Format:
• song title on the first line IN ALL CAPS
• songwriter name (in parentheses) on the second line
• skip a space
• then the lyrics
• skip a space
• then any notes
• and then finish off with your initials
Yes, there are copyright questions, but we leave it to the operators of the Digital Tradition to deal with them. In the meantime, we ask people to feel free to post whatever lyrics they'd like in the Mudcat Forum - keeping in mind that we are primarily a folk and blues site.

When I find lyrics posted in the forum, I standardize the format and make the title bold, so it's easy for the harvesters to find them. I don't "bold" the title for lyrics that are not ready for harvesting or that are incorrect, incomplete, undocumented, or duplicates of what we have already.
