Missing sections of data in BSHR1924

When I download (or try to) the spreadsheet for BSHR1924, although the hymnal has 746 indexed contents, the spreadsheet ends at Hymn No. 704 or 705. (It has full data for 704, and has the hymn number 705 but no associated data.) I assume this is related to the fact that 705 through 728 is a section headed SUPPLEMENT—FAMILIAR TUNES, which are exactly that, familiar tunes with no associated texts. The text entries resume at 729, but these too are missing from the spreadsheet. The items missing texts are in the database (as tune instances, such as NEW BRITAIN at https://hymnary.org/hymn/BSHR1924/705.) and the final set of texted items also look fine, e.g. the setting of "Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me" for male quartet, https://hymnary.org/hymn/BSHR1924/738, so it's just in the spreadsheet that they are lacking. It seems to me that simply entering "[No text; tune only]" as the first line of hymns 705-728 would probably solve this entire problem, but I'm not sure, and I'm reluctant to step out in faith and try it without running it past the home office...

What is the reason for trying to download the spreadsheet for BSH$1924? It looks like the editing is complete for this hymnal. Minor edits may be done through the website.

to facilitate comparisons of various kinds. In this case it was in connection with a project of mine studying/comparing the text and tune pairings in major Baptist Hymnals of the past century.

No, we are not going to add "No text; tune only]" as the first lines. You are free to hand populate the speadsheet with the information for 729-745 in BSH$1924
