It is a pdf file gathering several songs into a pleasant view so that you can easily read and play them with your own guitar.
The songbook is generated from a set of simple text files containing lyrics and tabs thanks to LaTeX.
## Why use LaTeX?
Previous and non-released versions were made from common text process softwares. The fact is that LaTeX is the only
way to keep a coherent pdf file, regardless of the number of songs you decide to include.
As LaTeX differenciate content and layout, you can easily build a songbook of your convenience with the songs you decide
or with different layouts without any modification of the original text file corresponding to the song.
## Different layouts?
There are 3 major releases of the songbook.
* a version with guitar tabs: the chordbook
* a more compact version restricted to lyrics only: the lyricbook
* a version with a few sheets (solos for example) providing melodic lines: the lilypondbook (Lilypond is the software producing the sheets)
