Ideas:
Originally arranged in 2006, I've now recorded this arrangement with revised instrumental and vocal parts. I've had a lot of fun creating the demos, and the three versions (POP, ORC and FOLK) show how you can flavor HymnCharts by using different instruments. Here's a rundown:

POP: Electric guitar, synth and strings.
ORC: Instrumental parts and strings.
FOLK: Cello, violin, tin whistle (or flute) and mandolin. If you decide to do the FOLK version, please don't mix in the synth strings and instrumental parts as they won't match. In addition to the core band (chord charts, piano, rhythm, keys, vocals) JUST use the FOLK files (cello/violin and whistle/mandolin.)

I've created separate multitracks for each style to make it easier.

2 part vocals: Due to the nature of the chord structure I felt a 2 part vocal setting works best, so there are no 3 part vocals or SAB charts.
   HYMNDEX Links
The modern worship lyrics trend for projection is to leave out most punctuation for a clean look. The original hymncharts lyrics text file contains punctuation. Our website hymndex.com was created to help churches build hymn lyric slides without punctuation.
Instruments mp3s are the arrangements played one time through with just piano and instrumental parts to give you an idea of the orchestration. In the early days of hymncharts before I made vocal recordings I had created these instruments mp3s as a quick demo. Since I now create both a POP and an ORC (orchestrated) mix I no longer make instrumental mp3s for newer arrangements.
MP3 Problems?
Several subscribers have had problems downloading MP3s. Here are the 2 most typical problems and solutions:

1. How do I download the MP3s? MP3s and (if available) multitrack WAV downloads are found under the "tracks" tab. You can download these MP3s (or any files) to your computer by RIGHT clicking the button, then a little box will pop up with options. Select something like "save as"or "save link as" to manually save the MP3s to your computer where you can then burn a CD, email it to your praise team or upload it to a worship planning website.

2. The MP3 won't play in iTunes (or other media player.) All HymnCharts MP3s are free from ALL copy protection and can be used any way you want. Some people are clicking the MP3 button dragging it to iTunes or another media player. This won't work (you're actually just dragging the image file of the button!) Download the MP3 using the instructions above, then you can access it through your media player.
