Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to fill in all of the details?

No. Some details are optional or will not apply. For example, piano and organ solos typically do not have accompanimental instruments or other musicians. Staging notes are only for situations where you will be ministering from an unusual location or have special micing needs.

Just leave blank the fields that do not apply or for which you do not have information. When you click "Review" to review your entries, the system will highlight certain items that are missing. You can submit your information without these items. 

Can I make changes after I have submitted?

Yes. Whenever you make a change, the system will send an email to the appropriate personnel notifying them of the change, and you will receive a copy.

What details do I provide if my special number is improvised?

• Leave the copyright information blank

• If you don't know what keys you plan to use, you can leave that information blank
