What does ``crd2sb'' do?

usage: crd2sb filename.crd

``crd2sb'' takes Chordpro songs and generates 

		  What's the format of a `crd' file?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Typically, a song file looks like:

{t:Song Title}
{st:Author}
{st:(C)Copyright information}
# key: G
# sref: ScriptRef 3:16
# CCLI
# intro: G D C D
[|][G]This [Bm]is a [|][C]song.
[|][Dsus]La, la, [|][D]la, la, la.
[|][G]This [Bm]is a [|][C]song.
[|][Dsus]This is a[|D]nother line.[|][Dsus] [/] [D] [Dmaj7][|][D]

{soc}
[|][G]This is the [|][D]cho[Dsus]-[|][D]-[A]rus.
[|][Am]This is the [|][G]cho[D]rus.
[|][G]This is the [|][D]cho[Dsus]-[D]-[|][A]rus.
[Am]This [|][C]is the [|][Gsus]cho[|][G]rus.
{eoc}

[|][G]This [Bm]is the [|][C]second verse.
[|][Dsus]La, la, [|][D]la, la, la ...

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Generally, if you have multiple chord changes within a word, you'll
want to use the [chord]- structure.  This will put a dash in the
chordbook output (but not the wordbook or overhead versions).

----------------------------------------------------------------------

			  Comment Directives

Comments are any line that begins with `#'.  Certain directives are
embedded in the comments so that Chordpro doesn't see them (but they
can be parsed by ``crd2sb'').

The currently supported comment directives are:

key, to specify the key of the song, e.g.
# key: G

section, for when you want a section defined instead of a verse, e.g.
# section:

note, \SBMargNote{}
# note: 1997 Missions Conference Theme Song

tex, a catchall for putting TeX in the file
# tex: \CBPageBrk

intro, for \SBIntro
# intro: |G D C|

----------------------------------------------------------------------

	   Supported Chordpro Directives "{directive:args}"

{title:Title}, {t:Title} -> title of song
{subtitle:Subtitle}, {st:Subtitle} -> used for author, copyright
{comment:This is a comment.}, {c:This is a comment} -> ignored
{new_song}, {ns} -> ends current song, starts a new song
{start_of_chorus}, {soc} -> Beginning delimiter for chorus.
{end_of_chorus}, {eoc} -> Ending delimiter for chorus

----------------------------------------------------------------------

		    Chordpro/SongBook.sty Mappings

[Asus]word	-> \Ch{Asus}{word}
[Asus]-		-> \Ch{Asus}{\SBem}
[Asus][A]	-> \Ch{Asus}{}\Ch{A}{}
(abc)		-> {\em abc}
...		-> \ldots

----------------------------------------------------------------------

				To Do

- Create example file exercising all the features.
- Explain [|].
- Rewrite docs.
