Quick script to generate a LaTeX 'cd-cover' sheet from a Brasero project file, for music compilations.

BUG: LaTeX special characters should be escaped :-)

Hello and thank you for these useful scripts!

I would just like to mention that:

1. Line 16 should be \documentclass[a4paper,landscape]{cd-cover}, otherwise it defaults to letter size instead of A4
2. Line 29 should be \newpage (just a typo)

Best regards,
George
