Songbirt

a repertoire browser for musical nerds

Songbirt is a lightweight web app for quickly browsing a songbook and displaying songs during performance. Songs are individual files (markdown, text, pdf) stored in your file system.

You can browse quickly by artist and album and display song charts in large and readable formats.

Use:

songbirt /path/to/my/songbook/root

will launch the server from that path.

alternately:

$bash>  cd /path/to/my/songbook/
$bash>  songbirt
