GS 2010 Article 147 – SCBP: Overleaf Notation
1. Material
Letter from Elora (8.3.J.1)
2. Observation
The church of Elora states that although it is beneficial to have the music for the first stanza on the overleaf, it does cause confusion because it is not immediately evident that the stanza with the music is not necessarily the first stanza of the Psalm (e.g. stanza 7 of Ps 18). This could be clarified by adding the word “continued” at the top of the page.
3. Consideration
The SCBP addresses this on page 11 of their report: visual cues are provided to indicate overleaf notation stanzas.
4. Recommendation
That Synod decide that Elora’s concern has been addressed.
