Description

The real songbook has extensive contextual notes — sometimes multiple paragraphs with historical background, song origin stories, and cultural context. Examples from the PDF:

  • "Nicht nur nebenbei" — full paragraph about the song's creation history with quotes
  • "Andre, die das Land" — biographical paragraph about Theodor Kramer
  • "Scarborough fair" — historical background about the medieval fair

The current notes field supports only simple single lines. It needs to support multi-paragraph text, possibly with basic formatting (e.g. italic for titles like Codex Patomomomensis).

Scope

  • Model: Change notes representation to support multiple paragraphs and inline formatting
  • Parser: Support multi-line note blocks in ChordPro files (e.g. {start_of_notes} / {end_of_notes} block directive)
  • Renderer: Paragraph layout with word wrap for notes content
  • Measurement Engine: Account for note height in song page layout calculations
