Afrikaans Liedboek

cmengelbrecht

Hi,

I see there was a post in 2010 regarding the topic, but it doesnt realy help me at this stage.

Can you tell me if you have the Afrikaanse "Liedboek" available in electronic format. I do have the Liedboek in electronic format but it looks like it is intergrated in a type of java application.

Hope someone can help?

Hi cmengelbrecht, we don't have the Afrikaanse Liedboek in electronic format, but I'll ask my brother who uses OpenLP in his church, and might have at least some of the songs in electronic format.

Hi cmengelbrecht

I'm that brother. I type out a lot of Liedboek songs as needed, but I am at this stage unsure about the copyright laws and how they relate to the CCLI licenses that churches need to use.

I will see what I can find out, and then perhaps, if things go well, we can work on getting the Liedboek into an easy-to-use format.

PS. It is really easy to copy-and-paste new songs into OpenLP as needed, which is what I do. Never takes me more than 2 minutes to create a new song if I have access to the words in a document or file.

Hi All

Regarding the Liedboek songs. I have all the songs exept for the Psalm already converted to OpenLP format. I am also in possesion of all the Songs (151 - 602) in Powerpoint format. The Psalms is still in Word format, but this also include the old 1973 Toitius Psalms.

I would like to make this availible to the users. But please note that you must do your own CCLI licencing for this songs.

PS. I myself is looking for the "Afrikaans Nuwe Vertaling Bybel (1983)"

Sounds good! Just please make sure that this is legal. I believe it is, but I am no lawyer.

I know that typing up individual songs covered by the CCLI and displaying them is indeed legal, if you have a CCLI number, of course.

It's just sending a database of words to other people I'm worried about.

Does anyone have any advice?

Hi,

I managed to convert the Liedboek from 1 to 602 into xml fromat that you can import into Openlp. If you are interested you can send me a mail. But like Etienne-Snyman said - not sure what the legal implications is but I am sure if you are a valid license holder there should not be a problem

Hi cmengelbrecht, where can I mail you?

Hi
Are these XML files still available?

cmengelbrecht

I still have the XML files for Liedboek - but keep in mind you must have a CCLI license to allow you to use them.
