texlive-songbook
Package for typesetting song lyrics and chord books
The package provides an all purpose songbook style. Three types of output may be created from a single input file: ``words and chords'' books for the musicians to play from, ``words only'' songbooks for the congregation to sing from, and overhead transparency masters for congregational use.
The package will also print a table of contents, an index sorted by title and first line, and an index sorted by key, or by artist/composer. The package attempts to handle songs in multiple keys, as well as songs in multiple languages.
