Thanks for adding pango support it going to make my chordpro files much more useful, vcolour coding parts ? ??  
One question is it by design that spans are limited to a single line, or have I found a bug ..... if I code my file like 

Code:

<span foreground="red"> [D]When I wake up, yeah, I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna [G]be the man who [A]wakes up next to [D]you.
[D]When I go out, yeah, I know I'm gonna be
</span> 

Only the first line is in red text

Thanks for all your hard work.

In ChordPro, the markup is per line. So you must repeat it for subsequent lines.

Thanks for clarifying Johan, a bit more effort but I can live with that for the additional functionality. Might have to write myself a little script to do the duplication ?

If it is just the colour (or size, or font face), ChordPro has supported this for a long time:

Code:

{textcolor red}
[D]When I wake up, yeah, I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna [G]be the man who [A]wakes up next to [D]you.
[D]When I go out, yeah, I know I'm gonna be
{textcolor}

I assume MSPro also supports this?

I don't think I currently support textcolor - it throws a few wrenches in my design. What I'll probably do is, before I process all of the lines normally for the file, I'll go through and take advantage of the pango syntax to transform the file as needed. So 

Code:

{textcolor red}
[D]When I wake up, yeah, I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna [G]be the man who [A]wakes up next to [D]you.
[D]When I go out, yeah, I know I'm gonna be
{textcolor}

would internally become

Code:

<span color="red">[D]When I wake up, yeah, I know I'm gonna be,</span>
<span color="red"> I'm gonna [G]be the man who [A]wakes up next to [D]you.</span>
<span color="red"> [D]When I go out, yeah, I know I'm gonna be</span>

handling it this way is more likely to work without introducing large bugs. I can look at the other directives that are similar to textcolor and handle them in a similar way.  Can you think of any reason this would not work?

Thanks,
Mike
