Chordpack

I created a GUI-less Perl program Chordpack for typesetting of songs with guitar chords using program for creation of electronic documents LaTeX. Chordpack is hosted at Google sites (Blogger does not allow file attachments, I think). I would not write it in Perl programming language any more. Chordpack is for technically minded users; users of Chordpack do not shy away from such tedious tasks as installing LaTeX on their computers.
