Thanks for that -- I had searched in a different method and had not 
come up with this part song arrangement (actually, it was in the 
result set, I'd just overlooked it). It is Version 2, and based on 
the same edition as I cited with the giant URL in my previous reply 
to Cecil Rigby (it's the same arranger).

It's a pretty amazing resource, and shows the value of digital 
collections for rare materials like these.

Of course, I am wholly against 100% digitization, as so many 
librarians seem to think is a good idea (there is a definite circle 
among professional librarians who want to scan all the books and then 
destroy them!).
