An app to display chord charts and lyrics for live performances.
Song charts are translated into HTML so they can be displayed and stylized in a web browser.
Songs need to be specifically formatted as follows:
Title
author: John Doe, Jane Doe
key: C
tempo: 128
time: 4/4
verses: A B C D E F
chorus: D E F A B C
bridge: G A B C D E
Sections:
Verse 1:
^Some lyrics ^are here
^carets are ^where chords ^go
^oh
Chorus:
^If the ^section name starts with the ^same word as the section in the ^chord chart ^(after the title)
it will use those chords in the ^section
Verse 2:
^For example, all ^verses will all
^use the same chords, and chord-naming is ^pretty flexible.
^You can even use ^Nashville numbering.
Bridge:
^Don't forget the colons, ^they're important.
And if you have more carets than chords, it will just start at the beginning of the chord chart and keep going.

- There will always be a default arrangement which displays the sections in the order they are given.
- The first four, metadata lines under are reserved- you cannot have song-sections name
key,tempo,time, orauthor.
A set is a collection of songs/arrangements
C or 1 - Major
- in this case 1 would be the root chord of the key Dm or just 2 - Minor
- whether its minor depends on the key (2,3,6 are minor) F/A or F/5 or 4/5 - bass note
- indicates a chord inversion with the A or 5 as the bass note
- in slash chords the numbers are relative to the chord root, not the key root F\D or F\3 or 4\3 - treble note
- indicates a chord inversion with the D or 3 as the treble note
- re: in slash chords the numbers are relative to the chord root, not the key root G-BCD or G-bcd or G-671 - chord melody
- the part after the dash is the melody notes
- in dash chords the numbers are relative to the key root, not the chord root A7 or 67 - position indicator
- a number after a chord indicates the position of the chord on the fretboard, or octave on piano
