Where possible, the location of the copy used by the editor is given in the List. The entry format was devised by Mike Bailey, the data was keyboarded by the editor, and the sorting and final layout was done by Richard Woods, on an Apple Macintosh Proforma 630. The data will remain on file, both so that additional entries can be added, and also so that the whole index may be out put in computer format, and eventually absorbed into a national database of West Gallery music. This Preface was written some three years before the Psalter was published by WGMA in AD 2000. Since then the Index has been transcribed into a format compatible with IBM computers, and is here so published.
Hard copies are also available, either printed or on disk.
For further details please email. Where PM is used, the syllable count of that version is given in the notes. Within each psalm version, the tunes are listed alphabetically, usually in the form found in the source. Tunes without title, but known by the number of the psalm, are listed as 'aaa' . Where an alternative name has been found, it is given in the Notes.
