Abstract

The songs package lets you create beautiful songbooks in LaTeX. You can typeset lyrics, lyrics with chords, and overhead slides for singing, all from a single master document. You can include both chord names and guitar tablature diagrams (but not full sheet music).

This example is based on an excerpt from the example songbook in the documentation for the songs package.
