As I mentioned in the introduction, you don't have to know very much about LaTeX to use GuitarTeX. You can use it even if you don't know anything about LaTeX.
If you are familiar with LaTeX you can use any feature of it to improve your song sheet or book. All lines of your chord file that begin with a backslash will be left untouched by GuitarTeX. You may test this by inserting a simple LaTeX command like this:
The result will be a marginal note with the word test.
The LaTeX commands will be executed at the position they appear in the chord file. But sometimes you may want to add a command to the preamble, e.g. to include other LaTeX packages. This can be done using the preamble directive:
The preamble directives may occur anywhere in your song. They are added to the LaTeX preamble in the same order they appear in the chord file.
