Hi All,
I am looking for some advice/input on how to go about typesetting our own parish hymnal. It is our goal to create a comprehensive hymnal for TLM parishes, possibly could be sold by FSSP publications, if it interests them. We are interested in creating something similar to the SSPX's new edition of the Traditional Roman hymnal, but more comprehensive in its scope of traditional English hymnody, and maintaining 4-part structure for all hymns. I am wondering what would be best programs to try to typeset modern notation hymnody, but then also Gregorian chant hymns and mass settings,
I would also be interested to know if there are any of you who taken on work doing typesetting, and cost involved.
I might also have questions regarding copyright of hymns, especially any where the music tune is public domain, but either the harmonization or text versions are copyrighted? How do you deal with that?
Thank you in advance for any advice you have, especially if you have waded into this kind of work.
