Description

The real songbook embeds images within song pages — not just as filler pages between songs. Examples from the PDF:

  • Landscape drawing on the second page of "Almost heaven"
  • Soldier illustration beside lyrics in "Als wir nach Frankreich"
  • Tree drawing in "Am Brunnen vor dem Tore"
  • Coat of arms in "An de Eck"
  • Bird illustration in "Der Rabe"
  • Flower in "Nicht nur nebenbei"

Currently, images can only be used as filler pages (FillerImage). There is no support for embedding images inline within a song's content.

Scope

  • Parser: New ChordPro directive (e.g. {image: path/to/image.png}) to embed an image at a specific position within a song
  • Model: New SongLine variant or section element representing an inline image
  • Measurement Engine: Account for image height when calculating song layout
  • PDF Renderer: Render image inline at the specified position within the song page
