[HANASHIR:16445] music books in the pews

[Shir Chadash <shir_chadash...>]

Please forgive me if I bring up a question that was discussed recently.  The 
chair of our Ritual/Choir Committee recently visited a congregation that had 
music books in the  and she suggested that we do the same.  I love the idea, 
but see some possible problems.  If we put Gates of Song in the pews it 
would limit us to the music that is in that  publication.  I often sing 
melodies from outside that book, although it continues to be a very helpful 
resource.  If we put together our own songbook, even for congregational use, 
I would think that we have some copyright issues.  Can anyone enlighten me?
Thanks,
