Changes for version 6.040 - 2023-12-26

  • !Highlights
  • Images can be [placed everywhere](https://chordpro.org/chordpro/directives-image/). They can be placed relative to the paper, the page, the column, and the lyrics.
  • Images can be [embedded[(https://chordpro.org/chordpro/directives-image/#inline-images) in text (lyrics) lines, either as part of the text similar to a glyph, or somewhere else on the page relative to a particular place in the text. The latter is most interesting for annotations.
  • Delegates are images too. Annotate your lyrics with SVG images, or with musical notes using ABC or Lilypond.
  • Chord and keyboard diagrams are images too. And you can use string and keyboard diagrams simultaneously.
