latex chordpro pdf song book

Disclaimer: Under active development

Plans/Todo:

scan for chopro files in input folder
- find songs
- extract metadata
Generate individual pdfs from chordpro files
scan for other songs (pdf files)
- extract metadata
  - from filename
  - (perhaps pdf metadata if available)
Create Jinja LaTex templates from scan result
- include chordpro pdfs
- include other pdfs (other songs, misc pdfs)
Write songbook LaTeX

Future Ideas:

Create Docker GitHub Package which starts Jupyter Lab and binds folder
- include jupyter lab
- include chordpro cli
- include python package install
- include latex binaries to generate pdf

clone this repo
Install anaconda/miniconda
- install enviroment from enviroment.yml
```
conda env create -f environment.yml
```
Install latex
Install ChordPro cli
copy your chordpro and pdf files in data/input/*
run notebooks in scriptsfolder to generate latex document
open latex document in you latex editor and export pdf song book
- use your tex editor (like texstudio) for last changes
- or use a script which calls pdflatex for the main song book tex file
Print your PDF song book and have fun! :)

Anaconda/Miniconda (Python environment)
ChordPro cli tool (generate PDFs from chorpro files)
LaTeX (merge pdf files and create song book as pdf with table of contents)
- Latex book template git repo
Jinja (Template Engine -> generate TeX files from python code)
Jupyter Lab (Web IDE for interactive python development)
- I prefer Jupyter Notebooks for easy development with output between a few lines of code
- You could convert notebooks to normal python scripts

There are README.md files with useful links and information in some subfolders of this repo.
