Files With Pinyin Lyrics and Musical Notation for the New Songbook Now Available

Files with the complete Simplified characters & pinyin lyrics & musical notation for the new songbook are now available for download from the Songbook—Romanised Material page. An A5 paper size (148 × 210 mm / 5.8 × 8.3 in.) file and an A4 paper size (210 × 297 mm / 8.3 × 11.7 in., similar to letter size) file are available. These files are only intended for those who have not yet received their official pinyin new songbooks. New songbook material with Cantonese romanisation & musical notation will be posted later as it becomes available. Update, 2009-12-28: Files with the complete Traditional characters & Cantonese Sidney Lau romanisation lyrics & musical notation are now available as well, in both A5 and A4 paper size versions.


Thanks go out to those who helped to produce these files.
