Changes in Release 4.1a: * corrected a bug whereby the new exclude song mode was throwing an error when either the |\SBRef| or |\SBMargNote| commands were used Changes in Release 4.1: * a new optional [Include?] parameter has been added to the song environment; that parameter allows you to have a song omitted from the printed songbook yet still have the song counter incremented and the song's table of contents entry written to a separate TOC file (see the description of the song environment, below, for more details) * to go along with the new optional [Include?] parameter is a new \usepackage{} option, printallsongs, which overrides the individual song option declarations and prints all the songs in the songbook * the song "My Sun and My Shield" was removed from the sample songbook; it turns out that this is a Ted Sandquist song and is not in the public domain * chordbk's compactsong option is still experimental 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. songbook.dtx: This is both the formal documentation for the Songbook style as well as its source code. A .pdf file is provided, as well as the .tex file. sample-sb.tex: This is a sample songbook. This file is used to produce the sample???.dvi files included with this package. To regenerate the .dvi files, simply uncomment the appropriate \document line and re-LaTeX the file.
