The first half of this functional project is ready, these are the texts of songs, collected, written, evaluated (versions, variants) and carefully revised. Texts are written in three formats: Internet (WWW pages, HTML code), Word (.doc), book (printed songbook). In the second half there will be written the music notation of the songs for singing and individual instruments (cimbalom, violin, alto, contrabass, clarinet). Listening of the melodies on Internet will be available. Furthermore the recordings of the songs will be collected (eventually new recordings will be produced) and exhibited on Internet. So the complex of the folklore music will originate for laities (e.g. for singing in wine-cellars) as well as specialists (musicians of dulcimer music and teachers of folklore music). This is the largest complex project in the area of folklore music in the history of Moravia.

So will look like the complex processed folklore songs.
As example was chosen the song "Eště si já":
Eště si já - sheet of song (WWW page od song)
Eště si já - text (format Word - .doc)
Eště si já - music notation (singing and instruments)
Eště si já - melody
Eště si já - recording

Here are further examples of music notations of songs:
Láska a svár
To ta Helpa
Zdálo sa mi, zdálo
