I would to write the words of a song (for example "Immensamente" of the singer-songwriter Umberto Tozzi) with a typewriter font, with manual hyphenation, but the top should adopt either a mathematical mode or write the text and chords on different lines or use some packages that I don't know.
I always hope that exists a package that can directly write the chords over the text including eventually the hyphenation.
I have seen this question/answer of the user @Steven B. Segletes Two-lined text (text over text) that I have adapted with this MWE:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{stackengine}
\usepackage{parskip}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\renewcommand*\familydefault{\ttdefault}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}
In \stackanchor{\small \textbf{DO}}{me}, immensamente in me\
\stackanchor{\small \textbf{LA}}{La} notte si è appena spenta\
E sono qui senza di te\
Più te ne vai\
E più ti sento\
Più non ci sei\
\end{document}
with this screeshot:
that it is not very similar to the this picture:
My questions are:
- How to have the whole words aligned? For example "me" is not aligned
- How to have a strong bold of DO (for example)?
Better fonts to use, or other alternatives code/packages, and a longer line spacing to optimally insert chords are welcome. I hope my question isn't a bad one because I mentioned my favorite singer.
I have seen also an old link of an user unique guitar tablatures from chords wrtten as \[*] in latex files with an MWE taken from this link songs package: how to store gtab definitions in an external file?, and that I add,
\begin{filecontents*}{tabs.txt}
