Indigo Song Book

The overall goal of this project is to create songbooks with:

• Exact chord placement.
• Electronic songbooks.
• Automated index/TOC creation.
• Automatic layout (i.e. shuffling songs around, so that they fit nicely on the page).
• Automatic formatting for verses and choruses.
• Some kind of documentation, so others can pick this up in the future.

Syntax For Song Files

• Chords are indicated in square brackets, within the text. e.g. [G]I love [Em]God...
• Chorus is marked by {start_of_chorus} and {end_of_chorus}.
• Verses are separated by a blank line.
• Text that is not sung (e.g. marking part 1, part 2) is marked by {comments: text}.

Syntax For Songlist Files

• One filename per line (including ".song" is optional)
