# Directives: title

Abbreviation: t.

This directive defines the title of the song.

Examples:

{title: Swing Low Sweet Chariot}
{meta: title Swing Low Sweet Chariot}
{t: Swing Low Sweet Chariot}

Although {meta: title ...} is semantically equivalent to {title: ...}, it is good practice to always use the latter. Many external tools will only recognize the {title: ...} directive.
