Handbook 2: 14.9.3When there is not a reasonable alternative, priesthood leaders may authorize the use of meetinghouse pianos and organs for practice, paid private instruction, and recitals involving members of the units that use the meetinghouse.
I thought there was a quote indicating use of budget funds for private instruction was allowable, but I can't find that.Where an organ is available, it is normally used for prelude and postlude music and hymn accompaniment. A piano may be used for these purposes when an organ or an organist is not available.
I haven't scrutinized the list, but I would wager the missing hymns are those the church doesn't have full ownership of, so they can't pass permission to others to make & publish MIDI files for those hymns.KrisDR2 wrote: Thu Aug 08, 2024 2:54 am Where can I find the missing hymns from this list, there are a lot.
It might be a little more labor-intensive, but you could always make them (for most of them anyway; some don't allow that), since it is for non-commercial, incidental, church or home purposes, I think. However, you probably wouldn't be allowed to share it with other people online without permission.ampman wrote: Fri Jun 22, 2018 5:22 pm Does anyone have or know of resources for downloading or purchasing midi files that can be used with Allen church organs (equipped with a midi player) and appropriate for Sacrament meetings? I have the equipment but no organ player.
Thanks much, Bishop D

Which post were you referring to? I don't see any post in this thread that mentions the number 108.samanthacheney wrote: Wed Sep 30, 2026 6:26 pm Hi! I saw your post about recovering the collection of 108 LDS Primary songs in MIDI format. Thank you for taking the time to preserve those files!
I’m hoping to use some of the Primary songs on my Yamaha Disklavier (DKC-800) and would love to get a copy of the 108 Primary MIDI files if you’re willing to share them.
In particular, I’m looking for “We’ll Bring the World His Truth” and several other Children’s Songbook songs.
If the collection is available somewhere for download, could you please point me to it? I’d really appreciate it!
Thank you!
