igitar
===============
**igitar** *[ee-gee-tahr]* isiXhosa, meaning guitar
``igitar`` is a ChordPro parser, written in Python. The main difference between this module
and other similar libraries is that ``igitar`` parses ChordPro files down to the syllable
level, enabling finer-grained control of the formatted output.
.. warning::
This package is still in development. Only a subset of ChordPro is currently supported, and
some key features are missing, like displaying song metadata.
Installation
------------
You can use ``pip`` to install ``igitar``:
.. code-block:: shell-session
$ pip install igitar
Example Usage
-------------
.. code-block:: python
from igitar import Song
song = Song('path/to/song.chordpro')
for verse in song.verses:
print(verse.title)
Rendering
---------
``igitar`` comes with two renders, HTML and Text.
.. code-block:: python
from igitar.renderers.html import render
print(render(song))
Command Line Interface
----------------------
``igitar`` also ships with a built-in command line interface which will read a ChordPro
file and then render it using either the text or HTML renderer.
For example:
.. code-block:: shell-session
$ igitar path/to/song.chordpro -f text -o song.txt
