DESCRIPTION
Songsheet Generator is an application which prints songsheets and songbooks for home, small group, or large group overhead use. The program runs on any platform that supports Java 1.4 (.jar file). Song files must be provided in the ChordPro format, a common text format found on the internet (ChordPro files are easy to make yourself, if you can't find the song you're looking for). Also Songsheet Generator will import some basic tab (CRD) files, so you can print a songsheet or songbook from any songs you might already have in that format.
This program is distributed under the GNU General Public License.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.5: - Printer margins and tabs can now be set in either metric (mm) or imperial (inch) units.
- Multi-monitor support has been added to the program. On the Full Screen Options Page, it is now possible to select the desired monitor from a list of connected displays.
- Added Rich Text (RTF) output. RTF will retain the font settings and colors from the printed output, as well as margins and column settings. Hyphenation is not supported, and line breaks may not match the printed output.
Please note that RTF is a document exchange format, and does not guarantee specific typesetting. The appearance of the RTF depends on the software displaying it, and many programs ignore much of the RTF formatting (these programs include WordPad on Windows; and TextEdit, Pages, and QuickLook on the Mac). For best results, view the RTF in Microsoft Word or OpenOffice.
- Songsheet Generator now supports multiple key signatures in a file. When more than one {key: } directive is detected in the song, all the keys will be shown next to the song title in the print list. The "Transpose to Key" menu will indicate transposition of the main (first) key; all the keys will be transposed relative to the transposition that is applied to the main key.
- Multiple key signatures can be addressed in the footer using a to adding a dash followed by the key number in the song to the usual key directive (%k). For example: %k-1 is the first key in the song (and produces the same result as %k); %k-2 produces the second key in the song; and so on.
- Added a control to quickly pick the output destination on the main dialog. This has the same function as the list of output destinations found in the Options Menu, but is easier to find.
- By default, the table of contents will now print on its own physical page. A checkbox on the General Options page will return Songsheet Generator to its old behavior, where there was merely some space between the TOC and the first song.
- Added a "Reveal Songs in Finder" menu command on the Mac. This command will open a new Finder window displaying the contents of the songs folder.
- For registered users, Songsheet Generator will automatically check the Ten by Ten website for updates to the software (automatic checking can be disabled, if you prefer).
Fixes and minor changes:
- Fixed a problem that would cause song scanning to stop when an unexpected file was encountered.
- Fixed the small chord spacing problem caused by hyphenation of lyrics.
- The list and mini-preview panes on the main dialog are now resizable.
- The "usage" column in the data key/value editor now shows the format that should be used to produce the data value in the footer. (Previously, this column showed how to define the key and value in a song; but that was not very useful, since the value was already defined in the editor!)
- Changed the "Songs to Print" List label to indicate that the list is equivalent to the contents of the current Songbook.
- Eliminated the "show mini-preview" option and checkbox.
- Eliminated the "double-click-to-remove" behavior of the "Songs to Print" List.
REQUIREMENTS
Java 1.5 or later.
