Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Songs package has been updated to version 2.7!  
Since the last CTAN announcement many useful 
improvements have been added including:

* A more flexible and user-friendly keyval syntax for 
entering song information

* A chord-replay system that allows users to type chords 
only once when multiple verses of a song use the same 
chords

* A chorus-replay system that can automatically insert a 
copy of the chorus on fresh pages when generating foils 
for an overhead projector

* The automatic transposition system now recognizes and 
correctly transposes solfedge names for notes.

* Multinational characters can now be used in index 
files.  (Sorting of multinational characters is based on 
the machine's current locale setting.)

* More than two columns in song sections are now 
possible.

* The chord-replay system now supports memorizing and 
replaying multiple sequences of chords, stored in user-
defined registers.

* Graphical begin- and end-repeat signs can be typeset 
with \lrep and \rrep.

* Sequences of chords grouped over a single syllable can 
be replayed either together or separately over a single 
syllable or multiple syllables.

* Many bug-fixes and additional customization options 
have also been added.

As always, the latest version of the songs package, 
including song-entry utilities and self-installers for 
Windows, can be downloaded from the package webpage at:
