+## Song management
+
+The `manage` shell script lets you do basic song management and saves you some
+manual labour. Simply run the script itself or invoke `help` to get a list of
+all available commands.
+
+For now the script only supports creating new songs, which it does in an
+interactive way by asking for important data and filling all needed templates.
