# Accessing Accompaniments

> [!NOTE]
> The information in this article applies to all Source & Summit customers.

There are two different ways to access accompaniments for music in Source & Summit products: with printed Accompaniment Books and on the Digital Platform. While both options are available for subscribers, the Digital Platform offers several features that are not available in the printed books.

Using both methods can help you to maximize all the benefits available to you through your subscription.

## How to find accompaniments on the Digital Platform

Use the **accompaniment toggle** in the Ordo Editor and Resource Editor to access accompaniments and SATB settings for each musical selection. Follow these steps to locate this feature in your Ordo:

1. [Create an Ordo](/v1/docs/how-to-create-an-ordo) or open a past Ordo from your home dashboard.
2. Select an antiphon, Psalm, or hymn in your Outline or Center Panel.

→ The Right Panel will open and display available settings.
3. In the Right Panel, look for the **Accompaniment toggle** under the “Key” section.

→ **Click the toggle** to display the accompaniment for that music selection.
4. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each piece of music in your Outline.

## Printed accompaniment books

Use Source & Summit’s printed accompaniment books for ready-to-use accompaniments that pair with your printed missal.

**Included with your subscription**

All subscriptions (orders above 50 missals) include one free set of the following three accompaniment books:

- **Mass Settings & Hymns**: 3-hole punched packet

*Note: Hymns are available* *for Standard Edition subscribers* only
- **Responsorial Psalms and Alleluias**: Spiral-bound book
- **Entrance, Offertory, and Communion Antiphons**: Spiral-bound book

**Sold Separately**

The **Accompaniment / Choir Edition** (spiral-bound) contains scores and corresponding numbers for all hymns in the Source & Summit Missal. It is not included with a subscription.

All accompaniment editions are available for purchase in the [Source & Summit Store](https://store.sourceandsummit.com/collections/accompaniment-choir-editions).

> Printed accompaniment books contain all the music you need to support your missal program, but the Digital Platform allows you to customize your accompaniments by changing keys, adding or removing verses, modifying score formats and more.
