Hymn and song source abbreviations

In the hymn and song lists given in both the magazines and on the website, sources are indicated by acronyms, as seen in the list below. On the website, the lists from ROOTS Adult & All Age and ROOTS Children & Young People are combined. Where a hymn or song is known to be in five or more books, we regard it as 'widely available' and, for reasons of space and clarity, don't list all the possible sources.
