Anyone interested ; we have the melody line from "Old Ship" (or my version/ whistle arrangement thereof) on Myriad Melody Assistant as a MUS file, and I think I can convert it to a MIDI. Would u like 4 me 2 put it on the thread via that new "MID2Text" utility? The first time i tried it it apparantly worked OK - it seems to generate an ABC version as well. No luck yet on generating a workable MP3 sad 2 say.

Recently perusing one of my 1850 era books, came accross one simply called "Zion" which has a lot of potential.

Also working on "Disciple", "Greenfields", "Martyr's Death Song" (oddly, this one really steps along with a meter like a bugle call) & other pre-CW Hymns. One which seems to have "caught on" recently is "Homeward Bound", of which I have 2 score versions (same lyrics) one from an orig. 1864 Seaman's Hymnal issued by the Portland ME "Bethel" or Sailor's Mission Chapel.

Dicho: Thanx 4 the PM; has been recently replied to.
