He doesn't even have to copy&paste sources.
Just save it to an appropriate place and name and include it.

Hope the OP is still with us ;-)

Are these capable of shape notes? I'm not sure.

I strongly agree with that David said: _especially_ for 450 hymns, if
I were you, I'd go definitely for LilyPond. Dragging sounds might be
better only for 1-10 pieces at most, and still you'd have to edit them
all once and again when you decide to change the overall look.
Instead, learn to use the \include command for paper and layout blocks
in LilyPond.

An unexpected feature you could discover is, you can teach the basics
(just note entry) to people so they save those notes in a text file
with a distinct filename. Then you can copy and paste that into your
music declarations such as tenor = { } , then use those variables in a
template such as \score { << \new Staff { \tenor } .... >> }

Finally, I recommend Frescobaldi for everyday work. Type some notes,
hit CTRL+M, done. Errors? hit CTRL+E.

Good luck!
