I've seen several good music notation or type setting programs, but
does anybody here know of a program to use for printing out song lyrics
with guitar chords? The only thing I've seen is GuitarTex. (Perhaps one
of the lilypond apps like Denemo supports this and I just don't know
it?)
Specifically, I need this for my brother. He always needs to give music
to people playing with him. However he often plays his guitar with a
kapo, which of course always makes this a mess for bass players. I need
software that can be told to shift everything up by X number of half
steps and automatically update all the chords. I've seen software that
can adjust music when the key is changed, but is there anything that
can do this for guitar chord notation?
GUI interface is perfered. My little brother is not the type to spend
much time learning notation syntax.

Absolutely excellent CLI program that supports user-defined chords either
inline or in a data file, and will either print chord diagrams or not,
will print chord names above the lyric where the change occurs, allows
choice of font size, transpose to any degree, etc.
