Summary description: A LaTeX package for storing songs or other content, and repeated reuse in documents
Announcement text:
This is the first version of my liederbuch package. It provides the environments liederbuch (songbook) and lied (song), which can store content (not only songs) including meta data. This content can be reused repeatedly. The idea is a combination of savebox and include{file}. A small example can be found in the DemoProject and also on bitbucket.org/maestro-glanz/liederbuch-package/src with a small typset helper file (GFM-Setzhilfe).
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/liederbuch The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/liederbuch/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese

liederbuch – A LaTeX package for storing songs or other content, and repeated reuse in documents
This package is meant for content which you reuse regularly, like songs in small booklets. For example the booklets used at church, weddings or similar events. It has two major parts:
- You typeset your content once (most likely a song), garnish it with some meta data and put it into a sty-file. From there you can insert this content into your document with one single line. The inserted content can have header and footer that use the meta data (i.e. title, composer, lyricist).
- Inside these content fragments, you can use the \notenzeile (stave line) command to combine an image of a stave line with song lyrics. If correctly used, the lyrics are placed correctly below the notes and need most often no or only minor adjustments. With that you can combine any stave image with LaTeX fonts.
You can find resources and inspiration in a DemoProject.
