How can I hear the
Music?
The music featured in the Digital
Hymnal is in MIDI (.mid) format. To play MIDI files inline (as part of a web page)
your web browser needs a plug-in to interpret and play the compositions. Links are also
provided on each composition page so that you may download the MIDI file and play it using
a separate application.
Current versions of Netscape
Navigator and Microsoft
Internet Explorer include the QuickTime Plug-in, which is the most effective, available and
reliable method of inline MIDI playback.
No matter what you choose for inline MIDI playback, your web browser needs to be
configured to use that method for MIDI files. Your browser's preferences allow you to
match MIME types and file extensions with plug-ins and other helper applications. For MIDI
playback, the following two entries should be listed.
|
MIME type |
File Extension (filename.midi) |
|
|
|
|
|
audio/x-midi |
mid, midi |
|
|
audio/midi |
mid, midi |
|
For each MIME type choose your preferred plug-in or
helper application. Once you've set these preferences, each composition should play
automatically when its page has downloaded. (If you've chosen a playback method that
doesn't support auto-play you'll need to click its "play" or "start"
button.)
Other inline MIDI playback plug-ins that include more and better-sounding instruments are

How does the Search feature work?
The home page and the indexes contain now a search
feature. You can search for words in the hymn's title or for the number of the hymn. When
searching for words, the search engine retrieves a list of all those pages whose titles
contain the words in the search string. It matches the search string, word by word, left
to right. When searching for numbers, the search engine retrieves the hymn page according
to the number. It is faster because it doesn't have to look into the database. It goes
directly to the hymn page.
At this point, the Digital Hymnal is still under
development, so although the search engine retrieves a list of pages, many of those pages
are not yet available. When you go to a page that is not on-line, you will get a "Not
Found" message.
NOTE: The search feature works only on JavaScript
capable browsers.
