Nice piece of work!  Thank you for putting it on the Web for us all to 
use, and thanks also to the Gross family for releasing it.  By the way, 
when I have to print transliteration for my choir (since the music goes 
left-to-right) I underline the accented syllables.  This is too big to 
do that for all 380 songs, but I will add it to the ones I use if I can.
