Sing Alongs
===========
[Latest build](http://vault.vanwa.ch/builds/singalongs_last_build.pdf)
Motivation
----------
I love to play the tin whistle and around 2012 I was looking for some sheet
music. There are a lot of good resources out there but the one thing I have
never found was a collection which was free (as in freedom) and usable for
printing. And if something does not exist why not try and create it yourself?
At this point I discovered [Lilypond](http://www.lilypond.org/) a wonderful
project for music engraving. The best part is that it has support for embedding
its scores in LaTeX files so it is possible to get complex layouts without a
big hassle. As a programmer I instantly liked the approach because I did not
need a big editor but could just write text files which I then could manage
with something like [git](http://git-scm.com/).
