Hey there, just stumbled across this project today - thank you so much for providing such an essential library for free. This has genuinely made my church's AV workload so much lighter.
I wanted to ask if you would be willing to consider also providing this database in the OpenSong XML format.
While there are many good iOS and Android apps for hymnal display, some even with sheet music, none of them are really built for tablets and take advantage of the unique features that provide, like digital pencil annotation and the larger display. Unfortunately, though, apps like OpenSong or JustChords provide this functionality (and a lot of other great features for musicians), they don't come preinstalled with the SDA hymnal data 😠
All that said, it would be really great to have the SDA hymnal in the OpenSong XML format (see example below). While I realize that having chords for all the hymns is probably a pipe dream, it would be really useful to have the Hymnal text itself in this format.
While I realize that a simple python script could do the trick, I don't have the technical know-how to do this right.
Is this something you are willing to pursue? If not, even any advice/tips/ways to do this on this would be much appreciated.
