GuitarTeX now has its own tablature management to create good looking guitar or bass tablature instead of ascii tablature. Improved handling of LaTeX errors: the program no longer stops if an error during execution of LaTeX occurs. New include directive supports creating songbooks from separate files. Support for the define directive for printing chord symbols at the end of a song. GuitarTeX now prints a chord table at the end of a songbook.

Version 2.3 is not a stable version, so you should only use working copies of your files! I am implementing support for the "define" directive of the original chord. See README file for details.

New in Version 2.2:
-icons added for often used features
-converting ascii/crd format to chordpro format -transposing now works correctly on slash chords (e.g. A/E)
