The following pointers may also be helpful: • Name/Location/Date/Time Please start the minutes with exactly three lines showing: 1) the name of the singing, 2) the location, and 3) the calendar date(s) on which it was held. • Breaks Please indicate breaks using RECESS or LUNCH, capitalized and on a line by themselves. • Two-Day Singings Indicate the start of a second or third day of singing with the day and date spelled out on a line by itself. • Names Please try to verify the spellings of all names. Do not put state names or abbreviations after singers’ names. Do not insert commas between the name and the first song number. • Song Numbers Please list songs only by number. List the name of a song only if the song does not appear in The Sacred Harp, 1991 Edition. If two songs begin on the same page, be sure to add “t” for top or “b” for bottom to the page number. For example: 31t or 49b. If a particular song is the only song beginning on its page, a “t” or “b” should not be used. For example: 306 (not 306b). • Memorial Lesson When listing those memorialized, please indicate the state of origin and year of death if known. If convenient, list those from the same state together. • Officers Please list the new officers at the end of the minutes, ending with the name of the secretary who is submitting the minutes. • Payment Each singing must pay a fee to appear in the minutes. The fee entitles the singing to receive 10 copies of the minutes book per singing day. Minutes received without payment will not appear in the book. • Fees $40 per singing day if you want the books mailed to you -or- $30 per singing day if you will pick up the books in person • Check Payable To Sacred Harp Minutes • Submit To Shelbie Sheppard 617 Ayers Drive Anniston, AL 36207 (256) 237-1240 3 COMPUTER INSTRUCTIONS If possible, please use a computer to prepare your minutes and send them to us by e-mail at [email protected]. • Before You Start First read How to Submit Minutes on the previous page, and follow the instructions. If your minutes are not formatted correctly, we may have to re-type them. • No Formatting Do not use bold, italics, underline, or other special formatting. Do not center the title. Do not type the title in upper case. We will add these formatting elements later. • Hard Returns Never insert returns in the middle of a paragraph—instead, allow paragraphs to wrap to the full column width. Include hard returns (also called ¶ marks or line breaks) only at the end of paragraphs and single lines. Don’t use two returns in a row to separate any paragraphs or single lines. • File Format When done editing, please save the file in “Text Only” format (this will intentionally remove any special formatting you may have used, such as bold or italic). If your word processor offers a choice between Text Only and Text Only With Line Breaks—be sure to choose Text Only because Text Only With Line Breaks will insert unwanted hard returns into the file. • File Name Save the file with the name of your singing. Add the extension “.txt”, indicating that it is a text file. For example: LibertyHomecoming.txt. Do not simply name it “minutes.txt”. • E-Mail Format If you are certain that your e-mail program will not add unwanted hard returns, you can paste the minutes directly into the body of the e-mail. If you are unsure, please send the file as an attachment instead. • Always Send a Printout Please mail a printout along with your payment. This allows us to re-type the minutes in the event the e-mail is lost or unreadable. • Please Send Other Updates In the same e-mail as the minutes, please send updates to your singing’s directory entry, any local singing informtion, names & addresses, birthdays, etc. • Web Help A web page with helpful hints, tools, and examples has been prepared for your reference at: http://fasola.org/minutes/ • Questions Please send any questions to [email protected] 4 SACRED HARP SINGINGS 2004 DIRECTORY ANNUAL SINGINGS Note: Fifth Sunday singings are included here by their dates, and in addition are listed in a separate section starting on page 27, with explanations of the formulas for determining their dates.
