ChordPro markup
#2
It goes without saying that being able to format only a part of a line differently is very useful. One might even say neccessary.

Currently there is no suitable way to specify formatting. In fact, we are already abusing {comment}, {comment_italic}, {comment_box} and {highlight}  to obtain certain formatting effects. Quick hacks will lead to dead ends (or more hacks).

As said, I'm considering markdown, but I'm more inclined to introduce styles (= combination of font, colour, size, background) and line-oriented directives similar to MSPro's {highlight} to use them. Markdown would affect ordinary symbols (e.g., underscore, asterisk) while braces are much less common in ordinary text.

So we could see something like

Code:
{style: loud font Times-Bold size 120% colour red}
...
And [C] then we {loud: all sing} [F]hello

I'm open to suggestions.
