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.
