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/). + +Contact +------- +You can reach me at [trac.singalongs@nulda.ch](mailto:trac.singalongs@nulda.ch) + +Github +------ +Main development happens at http://trac.vanwa.ch/sing_alongs but there is a +mirror of the git repository +on[Github](https://github.com/thallian/sing_alongs). +
