Chords

An old-fashioned static website with intentionally wrong chords of my favorite songs

Technologies

• Hugo

Getting started

1. Install Hugo.
2. Clone the repository.
3. Run hugo server to locally build and serve the site with live-reload feature.

Usage

Adding a new song

1. Create a page for the song:

   hugo new content "songs/<Artist> - <Title>.md"

   hugo new content "songs/Гражданская Оборона - Всё идёт по плану.md"

2. Add song lyrics with chords:

   • write chords using the following syntax `[Chord]`
   • place chords wherever the music demands, within lines, words, etc
   • wrap text into {{% chords lyrics %}} shortcode for superscript stylized chords
   • wrap text into {{% chords %}} shortcode for inline stylized chords

   An example of lyrics with chords:

   {{% chords %}}  
   Вступление: `[Am]` `[F]` `[C]` `[E]`
   {{% /chords %}}  
   
   
   {{% chords lyrics %}}  
   Гра`[Am]`ницы кл`[F]`юч пере`[C]`ломлен попо`[E]`лам  
   А наш`[Am]` батюш`[F]`ка Ленин `[C]`совсем у`[E]`соп  
   {{% /chords %}}

3. Optional: use front matter to add addition metadata to the song:

   • add more artists, prioritizing the first as the main one, using the artists taxonomy
   • add tags using the tags taxonomy

4. Make sure the song is no longer a draft by removing draft: true.

5. Done - publish and enjoy!
