Repertoire structure

By convention the Repertoire is organised in the following directory structure:

The repertoire is by default partitioned into substructures for example to support multiple bands.

Repertoire
├── Band
│   ├── Gigs
│   │   └── 'Grand Ole Opry.md'
│   ├── Songs
│   │   ├── 'Frankie and Johnnie.odt'
│   │   ├── 'Her Song.md'
│   │   └── 'On the Alamo.pdf'
│   ├── README.md
│   └── Repertoire.md
├── .gitignore
└── .setlist

Repertoire.md

Metadata is maintained in a Markdown GFM table on the top level of the Repertoire.md file. See example.

The Table must have a header row. The only mandatory column is the Title column which is used to refer to the song titles for both generte sheet and generate list.

Optional columns used (by default) generate output.

Column	Type	Used by command
Title	Mandatory	list, cheat, suisa
Year	Optional	list, suisa
Description	Optional	list
Arranger	Optional	suisa
Composer	Optional	suisa
Duration	Optional	suisa

The output columns can be selected by the --include-columns flag, but the order or the columns is defined by the input Repertoire.md

Gigs

Each gig is maintained in a Markdown file within the Gigs subdirectory. The name of the Markdown file is the name of the gig. Each song title is listed on top level of the Markdown file as an unordered list element.

Songs

Each song is maintained in a .pdf file within the Songs subdirectory. Optionally a .pdf can also be generated out of an Open Document (.odt) or a Markdwon (.md) file. The filename must the same as the song title within the Gig Markdown file in order to be picked up by the cheat sheet generator.

Dependencies

• Cheat sheets can be designed in the odt format. LibreOffice is used to generate pdf.
• To convert html pdf, a chrome (tested with chromium) browser is required.

Docker image

In case you don't want to install the dependencies locally, you can use the docker image:

Example:

docker run --rm --user "$(id -u)":"$(id -g)" -v $(pwd):/repertoire ghcr.io/laenzlinger/setlist --help
