Hi All:

I was torn between posting this here and in religion topics, so I thought I'd start here.

I have a job as a church musician. I play synthesizer along with the organist. Sometimes, I just play the melody, while other times I play a descant. If you hear bells, strings, or a trumpet, that's usually me. Anyway, I'm looking for online hymnals where the tunes are actually up as midi files. What I do is listen to them, and braille the melodies in braille music using a brailler. I'm not too concerned about the arrangements, as many of the hymnals have pretty lame harmonies anyway. I use hymnsite.com and cyberhymnal.org, but they don't have everything I need, and I'm convinced that no one site will anyway. Any suggestions, either post them here or send me an e-mail, please.

Thanks in advance,

Lou .
