One advantage of this is that you have large print, which some of us appreciate. If you project an image of a copyrighted hymn on a large screen, does that violate IP?

Excellent post. In part the future of hymnals will depend of course on the size of churches meeting in any one time in any one place for any one same thing called worship; I see that dwindling. I see more singing, a lot more singing (would be interesting to run some surveys on that) and fewer hymnals, unless, as you mention with ditto machines, new technology creates something that might still be called a hymnal just not in the usual printed mode. where going? into museums and museum churches.
