NAME
a2crd - attempts the conversion of lyrics file into chordii input
SYNOPSIS
a2crd [ options...] [ filename... ]
DESCRIPTION
a2crd reads the lyrics of one songs from a file, and attempts to produce a output suitable for chordii.
Chord names can appear above or below the lyrics. a2crd will embed those names into the lyrics.
The FAQ list of alt.guitar documents the way a ascii file should look, but this format is not recognized
by everyone, or fully enforced. Thus, it is impossible to modify chordii itself to read *any* type of
ascii input and produce good result. a2crd tries its best to to do the tedious conversion job.
a2crd attempts to recognize mail/news headers, and comments them out. It preserves as is any line
starting with a '{', which would indicates a chordii command. It also preserves any lines starting with a
'#'.
a2crd prepends to the output the content of a file called $HOME/.a2crdsig, if it exists.
The first line that is not a comment is assumed to be the title of the song. The nest lines until a blank
one are assumed to be sub-titles.
OPTIONS
-r ratio
Sets the threshold for chordii line recognition. a2crd looks at every line. If the ratio (
space_characters / (non-space_characters) is greater than ratio, the line will be recognized as a
chordii line, and its content will be merge with the next available text line. The ratio has a
initial value of 1. It is defined as a floating precision value.
-D Prints debugging information. For programmers only.
-o filename
Sends output to filename
