   Yep, it should would have been, but I didn't have the book handy and I
didn't want to quote something from memory which I would then have to come 
back and correct and then not get everyone who read it the first time. I
figured this way that at least people who had access to the book could
look it up.
   Still from memory (I'm at work, the books are all at home; I don't have
email from home.) it is a brief carol in praise of Mary, given in a couple
of arrangements, the one I took was from the mid-1400's because it was
simpler and I could sing it. I transcribed it from the book to NoteWorthy
Composer to play it on my comp, and put the words and verse pattern
to match the original words (syllabically and in the repeats).
   Yep, Greg, it's still sloppy documentation, but this isn't a contest; I'm
just sending out something I'm somewhat proud of. This is going out to the 
list because, as you pointed out, it was really too brief and you correctly
and politely called me on it. OK now?
