  1. I remember the format of TLH with the pastor speaking his part of the liturgy and the congregation singing its response. This feature was not avaialable except in the book called "The Music for the Liturgy" Because of this worship style most of the churches had gotten used to repsonding with song. Is there a way to do this or are there any plans to make this feature avaialable in the future?

    My congregation and I agree that chanting by "me" is not a way to sooth the savage beast, in fact in their words more beastly.

  2. We have discussed providing this at some point, but it does require someone to go back through the entirety of the liturgies and enter a third option for everything.

    So far, we haven't had the opportunity to do so. It continues to be discussed and we know it is on some customers' minds.

  4. Our congregation does this. So when it comes to the part where the Pastor speaks I have it all down to a science. I have those services formated in MS Word. It takes a little bit of time but I set everything up in LSB save it and then open it into a Word document and change the parts where the Pastor should speak. It was a hassle at first to get it all set up but now that I have been doing it for years it may take me five minutes or so to get it how I want it. It works well because our congregation prints the bulletin cover so it is all in one nice document when I am all done. Not exactly the neat answer you were looking for but it works alright for us.
