I would like to download the hymns (singing, not merely accompaniment) in Portuguese. However, when I access the Inspiring Media tab in Portuguese, I can't find a link to download anything other than the sheet music, the accompaniment music (without singing), or the songs from General Conference. Any ideas?

I scanned through a few hymns in the Music Library (https://www.lds.org/music/library/hymns?lang=por) and didn't see anything except instrumental accompaniment. What you're looking for may not be available.

The Church has only produced recordings of the hymnbook in 2 languages, and the Children's Songbook in 10 languages:

Hymns: English, Spanish
Children's Songbook: English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Italian, Dutch, Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese, Korean

Sometimes other languages have instrumental tracks listed (on LDS.org and in the Church apps), but they are actually the English instrumental tracks that have been cross-referenced over to other hymnbooks. So, you won't find instrumental recordings of the songs unique to the Portuguese hymnbook.

I am finding it's the same with the hymns in Spanish. I would very much like to download the mp3's of the voice and music of the hymns in Spanish. I can do so on some of the songs individually, but not the complete hymns in Spanish. Does anyone have a link to where we can do that?

I haven't been able to find a zip file with all the Spanish hymns at LDS.org. I'd suggest sending the suggestion as feedback (feedback link at the bottom of LDS.org).

I also want to download the ENTIRE "Spanish" Hymnal with words. I want to put it on a Zip drive so my daughter can take it on her mission to Argentina. Is there a way to download the whole thing at once? I can to it song by song, but it is taking too long... and I'm an early-morning seminary teacher... I don't really have a lot of spare time.

I'm a ward organist. I would like to break from paper hymnals and use an iPad Pro instead. Is there a way to down load the entire hymnbook so that I can use the tablet with Forscore?

I'm not familiar with Forscore, but a few years back (2017-ish, when Gospel Library Hymns wasn't working reliably) I downloaded a PDF file that had most of the hymns as a backup.

From a quick glance, you can generate individual PDF sheet music for most of the hymns via:

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/med ... s?lang=eng

(Select the song, click the Download button below)

I suspect there is still a way to generate/download a PDF concatenation of the available hymns-- but I'm not readily seeing that on my tiny mobile device screen.

Anyway, it looks like the church still has the original PDF hosted on their CDN:

https://media.ldscdn.org/pdf/music/hymn ... nload=true

Unfortunately, a handful of hymns are not included in the digital format due to copyright restrictions.

Good luck!
