Not all the possible songs from “Songs of the Kingdom” are available immediately.   The process of adding new songs does take considerable time, and others will be added soon.   For those who may wish to purchase the Noteworthy Composer application, you are invited to submit NWC files of songs you wish to contribute.   Just adhere to the guidelines below and send your contributed files by email (see the "Contact Us" link).  The guidelines are simply to provide some unitformity to the available songs and to minimize the additional work needed to add then to the site.

For those who simply wish to request a specific song be given a higher priority to be added, feel free to submit a request.

Guidelines

1. Use the SATB-Parts template.  It presets many of the settings.
2. Set all parts to Instrument: Rhodes Piano.  Due to differences in sound cards this setting provides the best overall performance and gives the purest tone for voices to match.
3. Set midi volume between 80 and 100 unless using dynamic expressions in the score.  In that case set the midi part volume to max (127).
4. Set Soprano and Tenor note stems, slurs, and ties upward.
5. Set Alto and Bass note stems, slurs, and ties downward.
6. Keep the four parts separate.  Do not layer soprano with alto, or tenor with bass.
7. Include the song and author information.  Include pertinent copyright information if you are the author, including permission to use on this web site.
8. Simpler songs can share a single copy of lyrics (associated with the Alto part). More complex songs should keeps lyrics separate for each part.  This may necessitate including only the first verse so the vertical screen space does not become too big.
9. Abide by copyright law.  I can not accept songs compsed, arranged or adapted since about 1923 without proof of authorization from the copyright holder.  If that is you, then include your permission in the author information.
10. If submitting songs from "Songs of the Kingdom", make sure the arrangement is really the one from there and not from another source.  Just because you got a song by the same name as one in our song bookdoes not mean it is exactly the same if you got it from a different source .  Also, be sure to include the song numberfrom the book in the filename, at the end.
11. If you are submitting an original song, or one that is from a source most people are not likely to have, then try to also submit a high quality PDF copy of the score.  This can be included on the download page for people to use. This would be especially important if you did not include all the lyric verses in the NoteWorthy file.
