Description

Each song page in the real songbook shows a footer row with all configured reference book abbreviations and their corresponding page numbers for that song. Example footer:

BuLiBu    BuLiBuII    CL    SwA    Barde    LiBock
 359                  13     6       4        3

This appears at the bottom of every song page, above the page number. It allows readers to cross-reference songs across multiple songbooks.

Currently, songs have a references field but this data is not rendered in the PDF output.

Scope

  • Layout Engine: Reserve vertical space at the bottom of each song page for the footer row
  • PDF Renderer: New footer rendering logic that displays reference book abbreviations as column headers with corresponding page numbers below
  • Data Source: Use the song's references field to populate the footer
