The 18 volumes are complete. Some stats: For the 21,535 verses of the Hebrew Bible, I required 34,442 images or about 1.48 images per verse. A few of these are non-musical images and some others are repeated so one could say that the music of the Bible is about 34 thousand lines of music, where each verse no matter how short it is takes at least one line, but may take up to four. A long verse can take up to 4 lines of 30 or so syllables, give or take a few depending on the ornamentation and frequency of changes of reciting note.  Here's an image of the first verses of Chronicles. This is from the PDF format allowing 6 1-line verses per page and requiring 442 pages!

Here's a page with longer verses from 2 Chronicles 25:

It's curious that Calibre has a report that counts the usage of all characters of all types including the details of the cantillation. The details are not viewable with any degree of ease. The accents are there in a column but are unreadable -- too small in the table and lost in translation when converted to Excel. But if you were interested, there are 2,461 mercha accents in Chronicles... and only one zarqa. 2 Chronicles 19:2.

Only one zarqa!

This should not be surprising since Zarqa is uncommon in the prose, but the similarly shaped tsinnor is more frequent. These sign are similar to the modern musical sign for a turn -- a sideways S over the note to be ornamented. This particular verse has two in a row on one word  חֲנָ֘נִי֮. 

Two consecutive turns - rare example 1/2

One would think that such a combination is unique, but there is another word with two such ornaments on it in 2 Samuel 3:8. I suppose that one good turn deserves another. But to get into this historical rarity technically, musically, linguistically, or theologically, would be a distraction at the moment.

Two consecutive turns - rare example 2/2

Surprising what you discover when you have music in front of you. I would not be able to determine these accents from the Aleppo codex.

You can see I have allowed myself to be distracted when I should be doing the shopping.
