• Use 'Ace' as a Node dependence (It allows use the latest version)
• Upgraded to ES6
• Use webpack (bundle and minify) to optimize performance (Mode Production)

If you want a new version: Bundle files with webpack (the output will be in dist folder):

ChordPro format: Lyrics and Chords

Essentially, it looks like this:

    {title: Praise Adonai}
    {artist: Paul Baloche}
