    I'm an editor for a company 1200 miles away from where I live and with the happy distinction of never having attended a single staff meeting.


    To do:
    1. Build time machine.
    2. Tell younger self to learn spanish and become a priest
    3. Go further back in time.
    4. Kill Ron Krisman's grandfather!!!!!!

    This is almost as good as my other plan (TOP SECRET).

    Because the larger publishers can afford it, but their smaller competitors cannot.

    I dunno, Adam. In my experience, it's been the small publishers who were willing to pay more than 10%.

    I clearly stated that it was an uninformed conjecture.

    This thread brings up a lot of questions.

    Why would some publishers want to pay more for their content?
    What does OCP think about the possibility that they are making piracy easier?
    How do I get a job where I don't have to attend any staff meetings?

    Adam, you overlooked one species of publisher that would benefit from a higher royalty percentage paid to hymnal contributors, namely, a publisher that, by and large, does not itself publish hymnals but which publishes new collections of hymns (either new texts, new tunes, or both). A possible example: Oxford University Press. I don't think they are known for publishing denominational hymnals in the USA, but their text "Lord of All Hopefulness" is published in almost every hymnal published in the USA these days. Do the math.

    Ah, I see. So when you said "publishers" in that case - you meant copyright holders of materials published in hymnals, not publishers of hymnals. (Which may overlap in some cases.)
    Yes?

    Yes, but as you yourself wrote, there is some overlap. For instance, OCP, WLP, and GIA all publish collections of new music or new texts besides publishing hymnals.

    Adam, re: no. 4, my grandfather is from an obscure hamlet in Croatia. You'll never find him, so the biological solution will hot work in this case. Deal with it.

    P.S. No more freebies for you.

    On further thought, I'm starting to question step 1 slightly.

    P.S. No more freebies for you.


    New plan.

    1. Build invisibility machine.
    2. Find out where Ron Krisman lives
    3. STEAL ALL THE ACCOMPANIMENT BOOKS FOR MYSELF!!

    (NOTE TO SELF: This is definitely the least expensive and most efficient plan for acquiring them.)

    I think that GIA has the Worship IV available for use on the iPad.

    Two years late. But I just now came across this thread (randomly) and I figured I'd mention this for anyone who doesn't know. St. Michael Hymnal now has their hymnal available as a PDF, in addition to other free music they offer.

    >> if it is fine, it must be somewhere else! Deficit is our middle name! LOL.

    the fine comes in if you violate the publishers' 'copyright' on the Psalms.

    We used Choral Praise when I was a DM. I thought it would be a good way to get the choir singing their correct parts, as until then they only sang in unison with the piano accompaniment, and occasionally the resident alto (only one) would sing a second part. I thought it would be a good way to transition them into polyphony. I didn't like having the OCP Missallette, but CP was a good supplement to it.

    Totally out of context with the post to which it refers. That was two years ago. We need anathemas for people who resurrect old threads. LOL.

    If anyone saith that a thread whose conversation has lapsed and been found at a later time by another member whose interest it has piqued may not receive new comments, or any other action which may bring it back to the attention of other members who may or may not already be familiar with its prior contents, let him be anathema.

    Who even wants to go back an re-read all those old posts? Sometimes the subject and content are no longer relevant. Start a new thread, for cryin' out loud!

    Thread level: HIGH.

    There should be a thread about creating threads about threads.

    Nice threads you have there.

    Now put your right foot in
    Your right foot out
    Right foot in
    Then you shake it all about
    And then you do the hokey pokey
    Turn yourself around
    That's what it's all about

    Ah, but much depends on *which* foot:

    1. Roman?
    2. German (so many to choose from)?
    3. Survey?
    4. Dexter?
    6. Sinister?
    7. Odd-digited?
    8. Even-digited?
    9. Club?

    Not the left foot, that's what Protestants use!

    Someone tried to convince me once that the "hokey pokey" was a mockery of the Consecration of the Mass. Some people have too much spare time of their hands.

    The pseudo-magical incantation "hocus pocus" is probably a mockery of the Consecration, but the Hokey Pokey is probably not.

    You left out number 10: foot in mouth.
