Songbook
Songs data for LaTeX songbooks.
Patadata
This data is meant to be processed by the songbook toolkit:
- command line client
- gui client (not up-to-date with this data)
- web client work in progress.
Getting started
virtualenv -p python3 venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip3 install songbook
songbook books/songbook-hendrik.yaml
Adding a song
- Grab the lyrics with chords from Ultimate guitar.
- Hit the edit button and copy the plain text from the pop up (usually has less superfluous newlines than if you copy the text directly).
- Head to ultimate.ftes.de, select
Latex
from the dropdown in the middle, and paste the text into the left text field. A slightly different version should appear on the right side. - Replace any
H
chords on the left side withB
. If the left side includes GermanB
chords that should be EnglishBb
chords, replace them also. - Create a new file for the song in
./songs/<artist>/
. - Copy and paste the re-formatted Latex version from the right text box on the website into the new file.
- Add an entry for the new song to
books/songbook-hendrik.yaml
, again in the right order. - Fix things. Add the song title and artist to the first line. Have a look at the other song files to find out what the result should look like. Pay special attention to bridges, interludes (especially if they contain only chords and no lyrics), capo instructions.
