Lyrics and chords
Text represents lyrics, within which chords, signified by square brackets, viz "[C#m7]", are embedded.
Unlike a wiki white space and end of lines are recognised and honoured.
ChordPro directives
ChordPro directives consist of keywords encapsulated in braces (curly brackets), viz "{keyword}".
Directives are not case sensitive,
must be one per line,
other content on a directive line is ignored.
