I think I'll wait until you get through the whole thing, and then I will do all of the edits. Thank you !

I'd like to chime in here, concerning the use of songs in our recordings. Can you please confirm that you "invented" this melody yourself right on the spot and put it in the public domain hereby ?
Because if the song is composed by someone else, the copyright problem may occur again, we need to make sure it's in the public domain, just like with our texts.
That's why we try to keep musical scores and other special effects to a minimum. The easiest is to invent a melody if you really want to include singing.And I agree with Terry: nice singing

I feel a bit like Helen Keller, who wrote a story at one point and she fully believed it was original.
As far as I know, the melody/melodies I used were made up by me. I've listened to them multiple times, but nothing jumps out at me as anything I've heard before.

I can keep it simple and say it, not sing it. But, for example, in the last book that I finished, a "beautiful blacksmith" told the young lady and her brother what sound he would be if he could be a sound. He waxed poetic about all sorts of things, but decided he wanted to be a song. It turned into an old lullaby called "Sweet and Low."
Just looked it up and it is a song (turned into a song from a Tennyson poem). The date is 1850.

I think I'll stick to talking from now on, but I think the Sweet and Low song is okay. The book is "The Fairy Prince and Other Stories," which was added to the catalog in the last few days.
Thanks for the "food for thought." I will be more aware when I get the urge to sing in the future.

the date for the poem is 1850 but the year for the song is not mentioned here. And the tune you were singing is not the same tune, correct ?Nedge wrote: ↑October 4th, 2018, 12:39 pm Just looked it up and it is a song (turned into a song from a Tennyson poem). The date is 1850.

oh no, you misunderstood me ! I don't mind singing at all, in fact I also sometimes include tunes if there is an obvious song in the chapter. I also already invented melodies for poems that I was singing then. So please don't hold back on that. I only wanted to make you aware of the PD problem with tunes that exist. So I usually invent my own things, and since you seem to be doing that as well, all is in the clear.

Sorry...I thought I had changed it already but it must have slipped my mind. It's changed to Solo now. Here are the corrections for Chapters 12, 14, and 17:
