Talk:Writing Effective Songs

I am considering renaming this book (and all its subpages) from Writing Effective Praise & Worship Songs to Writing Effective Praise and Worship Songs . (Using the How to rename (move) a page process). Any objections? --DavidCary 07:31, 13 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Actually, may be just generalize into Writing songs George Leung 07:20, 2 February 2006 (UTC) EDIT: There, I did it. Consolidate all those pages into one, and transfer many gospel specific items into a seperate page. George Leung 09:24, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Unconstructive edits
I've removed a number of edits which I consider harmful. I replaced them with a disputed note to mark the expressed concerns. Feel free to discuss the matter here, or consider making more constructive edits to improve this book. --Swift (talk) 04:59, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

"Swing"
In "The Mechanical Elements of a Song" there is a line which says :"The traditional, where every note is played as shown, and the "swing", used in Blues and Jazz, where, for example, two half-beats go "bomp-bomb" (kind of like heartbeat". I thought that kind of swing you mentioned is called shuffle. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 91.61.10.149 (talk • contribs) 17:19, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Better known example regarding originality
Warner Bothers Looney Tunes Cartoon uses a copyright song called "Merry go round broke down" but this bears an uncanny resemblance to the almost universal nursery rhyme "Mary had a lamb". The difference is subtle but seems sufficient to protect the rights. possibly, I am not a musician. --Tradimus (discuss • contribs) 03:54, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
