Subject: RE: Writing a Yule Carol -- help with melody
Okay, I think I've got it right... Up until now, whenever I sang along with the midi, I'd always end a quarter beat ahead... I think I've found where the eighth notes are, and made the apropriate changes. (The penultimate note is now also a b):

So how does this sound to all of you? Did I get it right, or does the tune now "hiccup"?
