Ultimate Chordbook

This is a LaTeX package which extends the excelent package songs in order to resemble the pdf output of tabs from ulitmate-guitar.com. Check the PDF in this repo how it looks!

How to use this for your own chordbook

Copy ultimatechordbook.sty to a LaTeX project and put \usepackage{ultimatechordbook} in your preable. That's it!

I recommend using the example structure like I have in this repo.

For easy conversion, use the website https://ultimate.ftes.de/ for converting Ultimate Guitar Tabs to LaTeX.

Custom stuff

  • Themed like Ultimate Guitar pdfs
  • Extra options for songs' \beginsong:
    • key: the key the song is in
    • tun: tuning of the guitar
  • New page after every song

TODO

  • Remove workaround that atleast one 0 finger is required for chord alignment without fingers
  • Option to keep \sbarheight with newpages between songs.
  • Index generation?
