Field notes
The homepage says the collection grew from one church musician’s effort to avoid repeatedly searching separate hymnal indexes. It lists 2,293 texts, 988 tunes, and 1,170 people, alongside first-line, meter, Law/Gospel, and hymnal-comparison indexes. The service builder, lectionary planner, and Bible lookup extend the catalog into planning and discovery.
