I second Robert's observation on Mac Firefox (9.0.1). Viewing on Safari 5.0.6 (Mac OS 10.5.8): — preview area interferes with dropdown menu for fonts (perhaps a layering/z-index issue). Congratulations on the release…this looks to become a r…

Is anyone else REALLY ANNOYED at the new doxology "Amen?"
I should say that while I'm not really annoyed by the new solemn-tone doxology (which I will be teaching to my pastor), I'm very happy with the simple-tone doxology :•)

These are great. Coupled with verses from A New Metrical Psalter and the Long-Meter doxology from Ryde Abbey (found in The Mundelein Psalter) they'd make a fantastic solution for many situations. Thank you!
