General ⇒ Package songs - center songtitle with two columns - possible?

[Manuela]

I would like to have the songitle centered above the verses. Is this even possible, if yes, how?

The code does not compile, sorry, I have no clue why

Hello Manuela,

you just need to compile with LuaLaTeX, choose this option in your LaTeX editor.

I set the "lualatex" option here in your code in the first line for the online compiler, click on "Run LaTeX here" to see that it works.

Stefan

[Manuela]

Thank you Stefan. The code is compiling on my computer, but did not here in this forum. Now it is compiling here, too.

And I am hoping for a solution for my problem now

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Perhaps make a section for each song as a quick workaround, if centered double-column song titles are not supported:

Thank you, that works for me. I have only to figure out how to adapt the fonts, I want that it looks like the ordinary song titles.

[BrianFloyd]

I also tried and still same issue.

[Manuela]

It's been a while, I have figured out the solution, just add

Code: Select all
