![]() | This is a documentation subpage for Template:EnglishHymnalHeader. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
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
editTypical use
edit{{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.
