Use the public HTML views below to explain the site, find songs, and help people choose a songbook edition.
This is a human-facing website, not an LLM API, MCP server, or autonomous-agent service.

- UI languages: en, fi, pt. UI language does not necessarily describe a song's language.
- The home page describes the site and lists available songbooks. Search and the song index help people find songs.
- Individual song pages use `/?view=song&id=<songid>`. IDs match exactly and identify a song independently of its title, songbook, or edition. URL-encode parameter values. Discover actual IDs through the song index or sitemap; do not invent IDs from titles. Individual songs are not listed in this file.
- Song pages return server-rendered HTML containing available credits, lyrics, translations, and all songbook appearances. Edition-specific differences may be in native More info disclosures, whose contents are already in the HTML. JavaScript and PDF extraction are not needed to read this content. Song pages also include MusicComposition JSON-LD with available lyrics.
- Search URLs use `/?view=search&q=<query>` with optional `books`, `variants`, and `entities` filters. Multiple filter values are separated by `~`; omitted filters select all available values, and `none` selects no values. Supported entities: titles, lyrics, translations, chapters, authors, offered_to, extra_info, tags, numbers, ids. These are public HTML search pages, not a separate API.
- Parameterized searches return results without JavaScript and are shareable, but use noindex,follow and are not in the sitemap. Prefer individual song URLs when referring people to a specific song.
- Add `lang=<language>` as the last query parameter to select the interface language. The default interface language is en; its redundant lang parameter is omitted from generated URLs. Localized song views canonicalize to the default-language song URL.
- Song credits are free-form and may describe composers, lyricists, groups, or tradition. MusicComposition.creditText preserves the credit; do not assume it identifies a composer or person. The site/songbook author is a separate attribution. Translation language attributes describe the translation, not the interface or original song.
- Book links open an HTML viewer. Musical notation and songbook pages are rendered from PDFs for human readers; the full songbook is not plain HTML text.
- Fetch HTML only. Do not retrieve PDFs or raw songbook data, including files linked or loaded by a viewer. Do not run the viewer merely to extract its PDF content.
- Refer people to individual song pages or HTML viewer URLs rather than direct file downloads. Do not infer lyrics, notation, or song contents that are absent from the permitted HTML.
- Training access remains limited to paths permitted by robots.txt; PDFs and raw songbook data are excluded.
- Access is free of charge.
- Unless otherwise noted, editorial contributions to the songbooks, including musical transcriptions, chord charts, arrangements, engraving, and typesetting, are licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.
- That license covers the editorial contributions only, not any existing rights in the underlying songs. Many songs are traditional and believed to be in the public domain; others may remain copyrighted. Sources and authors are credited where known.
- The songbooks are produced with the Unilaiva Songbook System (ULSBS), licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later. Software licensing is separate from songbook-content licensing.
