If emacs is ok with you, you may look at orgmode's

hi list,
this is one of my busiest times of the year for gigging; I'm usually pl=

aying at least once a week, and sometimes multiple times a week. =A0there a=

re a couple of things I'm frustrated about:
* my song lists are all on paper. =A0they have no information about the son=

g at all. =A0it would be nice to be able to sort by key, genre (rock, pop, =

r&b, motown, etc.). =A0it would be nice if calling up the song called u=

p the chord chart, which brings me to my next point?
* I looked through many presentation softwares, chord chart management, etc=

. =A0they all seem focused on the church crowd. =A0I need something *simple=

*. =A0I choose a song, and the chart that I have available for it (either t=

ext or pdf or whatever) is displayed in a split window.
ok, that's what I want, and no one gets what they want. =A0:) =A0so, I&=

#39;m open to any and all ideas. =A0what do you use? =A0do you manage your =

set lists with linux? =A0chord charts? =A0I tried the whole "thinking =

outside the box" and looked for maybe some file management software, b=

ut I got overwhelmed quickly. =A0any and all ideas are welcome.
I am kind of in the same problem. Having a fold=

er full of .txt, .pdf, or tiff, or .png files all holding chord structures,=

 sheet music etc.. Stuff for one band, stuff for another band, stuff for le=

ssons etc..
If emacs is ok with you, you may look at =

orgmode's- links http://orgmode.org/manual/Hyperlinks.html- properties http://orgmode.o=

rg/manual/Properties-and-Columns.html

=A0Organizing with sub folders for genre or type is simply not=

 enough.

I am playing around with Tellico a generic collection manager with some tem=

plates for all kinds of collections (stamps, coins, files, etc..). It's=

 fairly easy to make your own collection with fields for, for example, key,=

 genre, type etc..
It allows for having (file) URL's so when you have found what you need =

in the catalog you can open the file directly. Tellico is in the Ub=

untu repositories.Hope this helps.
