Template:EnglishHymnalHeader/doc

This template is intended for use on the Index:The English hymnal (1906).djvu (i.e. the version with tunes and harmonisations) retranscription project, as a way to standardise and facilitate formatting. It should be placed immediately before the lilypond score.

Usage

Typical use

{{EnglishHymnalHeader
|tune = <!-- the name of the hymn tune, as indicated. No default formatting is applied here, you must add it manually. -->
|metre = <!-- the metre of the hymn, as indicated in the hymnal -->
|number = <!-- the number of the hymn, as it appears at the top. This is by default bolded and larger -->
|tempo text = <!-- the text used to describe the tempo. Italic by default -->
|tempo symbol = <!-- the note value for the tempo, using the same syntax as lilypond (so 4 = quarter, 4. = dotted quarter). Will produce it as corresponding Unicode musical character(s) -->
|tempo = <!-- the tempo indication -->
|description = <!-- whatever is on the right hand side (this will usually be the composer, or other indications of the nature). No default formatting. --> }}

Additional |description-middle= and |description-top= parameters are available if required. |description-alternative= is provided for use with alternative tunes or settings, such as for example Page:The English hymnal (1906).djvu/35.

The template will automatically add a period at the end of the tempo mark and an "equals" sign at the appropriate position, unless no tempo symbol is specified.

Example use

{EnglishHymnalHeader|tune='''Yorkshire {{sc|or}} Stockport.'''|metre=10 10. 10 10. 10 10.|number=21|tempo text=In moderate time, dignified|tempo symbol=4|tempo=100|description={{sc|J. Wainwright}}, 1723{{ndash}}68.}}
