     1 chords2halftone.php is a completely standalone (non-Enano dependent) quick php
       
     2 script which turns ascii monospace chord sheets into halftone markup. You may
       
     3 or may not find it useful.
       
     4 
       
     5 Halftone markup example:
       
     6 
       
     7 <halftone title="Don't Stop Believing">
       
     8 Intro: (E) (B) (C#m) (A) (E) (B) (G#m) (A)
       
     9 
       
    10 Verse 1:
       
    11 (E)Just a (B)small town girl
       
    12 (C#m)Living in a (A)lonely world,
       
    13 (E)She took the (B)midnight train going
       
    14 (G#m)any - (A)where
       
    15 </halftone>
       
    16 
       
    17 You get the picture.
       
    18 
       
    19 Halftone will position the chords exactly in the right position above the text.
       
    20 You also (and this was the main reason I wrote this plugin) get automatic
       
    21 transposition with ajaxy-smooth sexiness.
       
    22 
       
    23 Note that the positioning-chords-above-text trick sometimes makes for overlaps
       
    24 if you put chords so close to each other. An example would be using
       
    25 "(G#m)any(A)where" in the sample verse above - depending on your theme/font
       
    26 G#m would be directly adjacent to A (confusing) or A would even overlap. So
       
    27 be sure to space out your lyrics accordingly.
