Today’s composing. This will probably go into my current project involving the Bay Psalm Book of 1640. I always write on paper and it’s usually a while before I feel like making corrections and typesetting.

Cover of the book John Knox by Jane Dawson, which features a portrait of Knox. He is thin with a long beard and is holding a book to his chest.

I finished ‘John Knox’ by Jane Dawson today - can’t remember being so gripped by a biography!

A web form, with one field labeled "Input" with minutes from a shape note singing that includes only page numbers, not the names of the tunes, and with a second field labeled "Output" that has the minutes including both the page numbers and names of the tunes.

Similar to the other example, but this one includes songs from two books: The Sacred Harp and An Eclectic Harmony

When keeping the minutes at local singings, i like to include the tune names... but i like to get the minutes done the same day, and it's late after the singing, and i'm tired. So i made a tool to automate it for me! minutes-tune-names.vercel.app #shapenotesinging
