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:
