hi list,
this is one of my busiest times of the year for gigging; I'm usually
playing at least once a week, and sometimes multiple times a week. there
are a couple of things I'm frustrated about:
* my song lists are all on paper. they have no information about the song
at all. it would be nice to be able to sort by key, genre (rock, pop, r&b,
motown, etc.). it would be nice if calling up the song called up the chord
chart, which brings me to my next point?
* I looked through many presentation softwares, chord chart management,
etc. they all seem focused on the church crowd. I need something
*simple*. I choose a song, and the chart that I have available for it
(either text or pdf or whatever) is displayed in a split window.
ok, that's what I want, and no one gets what they want. :) so, I'm open
to any and all ideas. what do you use? do you manage your set lists with
linux? chord charts? I tried the whole "thinking outside the box" and
looked for maybe some file management software, but I got overwhelmed
quickly. any and all ideas are welcome.
I am kind of in the same problem. Having a folder full of .txt, .pdf, or
tiff, or .png files all holding chord structures, sheet music etc.. Stuff
for one band, stuff for another band, stuff for lessons etc..
Organizing with sub folders for genre or type is simply not enough.
I am playing around with Tellico a generic collection manager with some
templates for all kinds of collections (stamps, coins, files, etc..). It's
fairly easy to make your own collection with fields for, for example, key,
genre, type etc..
It allows for having (file) URL's so when you have found what you need in
the catalog you can open the file directly.
Tellico is in the Ubuntu repositories.
Hope this helps.

I'm perfectly OK with emacs if I knew anything about it. :) I know it's a little
OT to ask, but if anyone knows of a slow, to-the-point tutorial for emacs that will cover
getting me cool with the keyboard shortcuts, I'm all ears. org-mode looks awesome,
but those keyboard shortcuts are *damn* hard to learn.

Yes the builtin tutorial is definitely perverse -- recommending Ctrl-P and
Ctrl-N over up and down arrows!! But you can ignore this nonsense and
start there.
After that you can ask on gnu.help.emacs and/or the orgmode list (which is
very helpful)
Xah Lee has some nice emacs stuff http://xahlee.org/emacs/emacs.html

I'd actually recommend the built-in tutorial. It sounds pretty much
like what Josh was asking for.
Just read the emacs startup screen and start from there.

So far, as far as I can see theres none.
But the suggestion I got is to use the refcards more.

Another way is to print out the reference card and
keep it
handy.
To see what is available, try: ‘M-x locate RET refcards RET’.
Specifically I recommend the basic emacs card: refcard.pdf and then the
orgcard.pdf

Hi, I personally started learning emacs by reading the "Emacs tutorial"
that's linked to on the start page. It is good IMO. Then of course
it's a masthodontic program and, once you know the very basics, you'll
just google stuff as you need it (or use the very good internal help).
If you want then to use orgmode (which is all kind of awesomness) I
suggest to print out the compact guide - first list entry on this page:
http://orgmode.org/org-mode-documentation.html
Then again, once you have a basic idea of how org works, just read the
manual sections you need, as you need them - in your case the Links and
Properties sections as pointed out by Rustom.
So you'll probably won't care about the Agenda and TODOs (at least for
the moment), but you'll probably want to know how to navigate through
headers, Links, Properties (though these are only useful for Agenda
Views? not sure never really used them myself) and maybe Tables.
Have fun :)

Hi Josh,
Some recent posts on the orgmode list which remined me of your question

You could try using 'gnus (the news/mail/anything-reader) as a
playlist-manager.
Say youve got a folder (w. potential sub-folders) of organized materials
in files, boot gnus and hit 'G D', choose a good directory, and youll
get the typical mail-clients split presentaions of headers (ie titles of
files/folders etc), and content of your choice (lyrics, chords, pdfs.,
mime-attachments...), w. various ways of stepping around, marking,
browsing, searching, sorting, scoring...
