Bountiful Hymns: Tune Meter Index

This is the index of hymn tunes, identified by their titles, but listed in order of the poetic meter to which they hew. Like the similar indexes in my previous books, I've divided them up by the number of lines per stanza. I figured this would be helpful if you're looking for a tune to suit a stanza structure of given proportions. After that, they're alphabetized, if you will, in order of the number of syllables per line. Abbreviations for frequently used meters, such as LM, CPM and so forth, are explained in the text below. The usefulness of this type of index becomes apparent when you're choosing hymns for a church service and you like a hymn but its tune not so much; with luck, you can find another tune that will fit the same words. The 2-line "Irr." entries are actually chant tones for the psalms, hence the weird "hymn" numbers.
