• Shorthand skips the menus: 'hymn sdah 100' goes straight to SDAH hymn 100.

• The number and book code are order-independent: 'hymn 100 sdah' works too.

• If you save a default hymnbook (via Settings > Saved Preferences), you can just send 'hymn 320' without specifying the book.

• Commands follow the pattern: hymn [code] [number]. sdah and english are codes for the main English hymnbooks. Codes for other languages are shown in the list above.
