Description : Format music sheets from text files
Chordii is a fork of Chord, a program very popular several years ago,
and most famous for its trendsetting 'ChordPro' music file format.
After multiple failed attempts to contact the original authors, it was
determined that Chord was unmaintained. Luckily, Chord was licensed
under the GPL, so it was forked into Chordii and active development
could continue.
Chordii's purpose is to provide guitar players with a tool to produce
good looking, self-descriptive music sheets from text files.
Chordii reads a text file containing the lyrics of a song, the chords
to be played, their description and some other optional data to
produce a PostScript document that includes:
Centered titles
Chord names above the words
Graphical representation of the chords at the end of the songs
Transposition
Multiple columns on a page
Index of a songbook
Multiple logical pages per physical pages (1, 2 or 4)
Configurable fonts for the lyrics and the chord names
Multiple songs inside one file
The complete ISO 8859-1 character set
Chorus marking
And, as they say, more... and even more to come!
