    A few kind members here have encouraged the idea of a fundraiser to purchase a computer and software to complete the SEP organ book. Rough examples can be found here: http://forum.musicasacra.com/forum/discussion/7825/sep-accompaniment-book/p1

    For those who haven't heard, my laptop was stolen this summer, and so I've been unable to make progress in notating the book. I've taken to writing them all out by hand, and have completed harmonizations for the entire collection (including editing of previously written harmonizations). Now all that's left is to engrave them on the computer and present a clean, professional product.

    Donations will also help determine the level of interest in this book (helps figure out publishing options & cost)

    The question of this serving as a pre-order came up, and I'd like to share this.

    The fundraiser is not set up for pre-order, but I do hope to offer some sort of discount to contributors. That will depend on how its published. Right now it seems like the self-publish route might be best. Illuminare and CCWatershed are not options at this point, and CMAA would require a pretty substantial sales figure.

    In any case, I do intend to offer some sort of perk to those who contributed. What that is, I don't know yet. We're not at that stage. For now, just do know that donations are not taken for granted!
