Recommendations for Software to Create a Song Book

So far SongBook Pro works for me. I struggle a bit with including strumming patterns, e.g. Wonderwall. Do you have a hint how to include strumming patterns?

Some of these Apps let you embed special codes for things like strumming patterns.

Creating Lyric and Chord Sheets

I also need the bars above the sometimes, but I have found that you can put any annotation above the lyrics just by putting it in brackets, so something like: This [|] [Am]is [G]the [|] [C]way [|] renders as: | Am G | C | This is the way As you would expect. You can put other accents and things. In general anything with * in front of it is explicitly not a chord, but will go above the lyrics. Hope this helps.

I spent quite a bit of time trying to make this work with Songbook Pro, but found it to be only partially supported by the product…and eventually gave up on it.

But perhaps you will have better luck.
