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 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.

Development

Main development happens at https://code.vanwa.ch/shu/sing-alongs but there is a mirror of the git repository on Github.

The master branch contains only full songs (lyrics, melody and chords) and the only time it is updated is for changing layout related stuff or merging a song.

Songs live in their own branch. If there is an error the branch gets fixed and then merged into the master. I am not sure how well this goes with a growing number of songs but lets see ;)
Also, the older songs may not have their own branch yet, so it has to be created when the first correction comes up.
