Talk:The Riverside song book/Ben Bolt

Transcription could use some work

The words are accurate, but they're formatted in a non-intuitive manner. Since Wikisource isn't a songbook (and we don't have to cram multiple verses into the one sheet of music), it would make more sense to re-arrange it so that each stanza is printed in succession, as the lyrics to songs often are, instead of trying to imitate the format of the songbook (without accompanying musical notes).

• RexSueciae: The text (as it exists now) is meant to represent the lines of music, as shown on the page from the book. When the music is added, the page will look like this; however, due to the destruction of the Score extension (which is used to represent music on Wikisource), the music disappears over time. It would probably be helpful to have the text added as a separate page; that could be an annotation. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 02:38, 29 November 2020 (UTC).
