Should individual pages with each shanty's lyrics be created? Ozaren21 (talk) 18:02, November 10, 2013 (UTC)

No, they can be contained in tabber templates. Slate Vesper (talk) 03:09, November 11, 2013 (UTC)

Lyrics

Some of the Lyrics don't seem to match up with the version sung in the game. Most of them or fine, but songs like Old Billy Riley need lyrics that match up with the song in the game. (Toolen (talk) 21:29, December 9, 2013 (UTC))

The lyrics match up with the shanty lyrics shown in the Animus database, rather than those sung by the crew. It seems about right for the crew to improvise from what they know rather stay strict to the song entirely, so the database would be the correct source in my opinion.

Evidence for "Goodbye Johnny Bell"?

I can't find any. I added lyrics for the others that were missing them. Oh, and if it matters, "The Maid of Amsterdam" (AC Initiates song) is titled that way in the game, with the "The" and sorted under the T's like the other "The" titles. —unsigned comment by Youmademesignup (talk · contr)

Songs in ACOD and ACV?

Would the songs in Odyssey and Valhalla count as shanties? True, Kassandra doesn't collect music, but the words are all lines in poems by Classical authors that would be sung and which most everyone knew. Eivor does chase pages, though, and these are skaldic poems, which reciters would have to learn and are thought to have musical accompaniment. Thus far, they're all from ACV's new EP. – Darman (talk) 18:50, July 27, 2020 (UTC)
