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

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.
