Documentation

Description

This is a programm for storing songs, songbook in short words. It use its own system for storing chords, not a chordpro format (yes, i love to reinvent the wheel), and not only chords, also you can mark stressed syllables with some symbols (as a dot or some numbers or whatever you want, only one symbol per mark). Also there's some notes (and a little bit of other stuff)

Written in pure Rust.
