Mandarin Memorial Songsheets Page PDF Files Updated

The PDF files available for download from the Mandarin Memorial Songsheets page have been updated.

As it says on that page:

These files can be used to print out extra copies of songs that may be used at Mandarin Memorials. Some of the files have Pīnyīn, and some don’t. The files can help to enable all in attendance at Mandarin Memorials to sing in Mandarin together, thus emphasizing our unity and resulting in more harmonious praise being offered at these special meetings.

...

Of note is the inclusion in these files of jiǎnpǔ, or numbered musical notation. Many Chinese people are familiar with this type of musical notation, and find it easier to follow than the “standard” musical notation that uses a five-line staff.

[UPDATE, Sun., Mar. 24, 2013: The typesetting of the jiǎnpǔ has been improved, putting it closer to the lyrics. This makes the jiǎnpǔ easier to see while singing. Also, individual songsheets with jiǎnpǔ, characters, and no Pīnyīn are now available, in addition to the previously available files.]
