CTAN package update: songs
by CTAN announcements (Jim Hefferon) 31 Jan '09

31 Jan '09

This package has been updated on tug.ctan.org and should work through the mirroring system in a day. Thanks, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ........................................................................ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: songs Author's name: Kevin Hamlen Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/songs Summary description: Songs package updated to version 2.7! License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Songs package has been updated to version 2.7! Since the last CTAN announcement many useful improvements have been added including: * A more flexible and user-friendly keyval syntax for entering song information * A chord-replay system that allows users to type chords only once when multiple verses of a song use the same chords * A chorus-replay system that can automatically insert a copy of the chorus on fresh pages when generating foils for an overhead projector * The automatic transposition system now recognizes and correctly transposes solfedge names for notes. * Multinational characters can now be used in index files. (Sorting of multinational characters is based on the machine's current locale setting.) * More than two columns in song sections are now possible. * The chord-replay system now supports memorizing and replaying multiple sequences of chords, stored in user- defined registers. * Graphical begin- and end-repeat signs can be typeset with lrep and rep. * Sequences of chords grouped over a single syllable can be replayed either together or separately over a single syllable or multiple syllables. * Many bug-fixes and additional customization options have also been added. As always, the latest version of the songs package, including song-entry utilities and self-installers for Windows, can be downloaded from the package webpage at: http://songs.sourceforge.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/songs .

CTAN disruption of service at tug.ctan.org
by CTAN maintainer Jim Hefferon 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

As announced two days ago I have virtualized the services provided by tug.ctan.org. This means that my institution, Saint Michael's College, has allowed me to put the services onto a box that lives in the server room, so that it has uninterrupted power, regular professional backups, etc. (It is also greener.) The system is an intricate combination of baling wire and expectorant, and many of my services had at least a little trouble, but in particular the www services had database trouble (basically, PostgreSQL 8.3 is pickier about foreign keys than the version on which the service previously ran). I believe that most of those are now back. I appreciate folks's patience. Jim Hefferon
