I lead singing at a church which employs congregational singing (and 
nothing else) as its musical part of worship.  I know about one-sixth to 
one quarter of the songs in the song book.

I can pick up a song very easily if I hear the melody, but learning by 
reading (even though we use shaped notes in the songbooks) has always 
been difficult for me.  The last time I was asked to lead a new song I 
fired up Sonix 2.0 (an old Amiga program) to learn it.  I found out why 
the song was obscure, and haven't led it since.

Regards,
John
