-The Songbook style provides an all purpose songbook style for
-LaTeX2e. The package allows for three types of output from a
-single input file: words and chords books for the musicians to
-play from, words only songbooks for the congregation to sing
-from, and overhead transparency masters for congregational use.
-The style will also print a table of contents, an index sorted
-by title and first line, and an index sorted by key. It
-attempts to handle songs in multiple keys, as well as songs in
-multiple languages. \ No newline at end of file

+chordbk, wordbk, overhead:
+
+ These styles have been used to produce the songbooks for our church. We
+ needed to produce books that our song-leaders could use, as well as books
+ for use in the congregation; so, these styles were written.
+
+ The `chordbk' option is used to print a songbook with words and chords, and
+ it also supports a `compactsong' option which lays out the song in two
+ columns per page instead of one (the `wordbk' and `overhead' options do not
+ support compactsong mode at present). The `wordbk' option is used to print
+ a words-only songbook. The `overhead' option is used to print overhead
+ transparencies. They all use the same LaTeX input file. `Wordbk' and
+ `overhead' modes simply ignore all of the chord information.
+
+

+ This is both the formal documentation for the Songbook style as well as
