I have a file that looks like this (please pardon the bad, fake lyrics):
[snip] example
I want to convert these to a LyX format that I have established.
The Number: and Title: lines are easy enough to convert; only the Verse: and
Chorus: chunks (which may be 8 lines) are a problem. I need those chunks to
have:
- 1 line added before (different for verse/chorus)
- 2 lines added between lines
- 1 line added after (same for verse/chorus)
It may be possible to do this in sed alone, but a more complete
scripting language, such as perl, python, ruby, etc. will probably
make the job easier, since you'll not be limited to processing each
line individually.
