+##
+## syntax of song columns list format is "column column etc."
+##
+## - syntax for each column is:
+##
+## (width of the column)[color of the column]{displayed tag}
+##
+## Note: Width is by default in %, if you want a column to have fixed size, add
+## 'f' after the value, e.g. (10)[white]{a} will be the column that take 10% of
+## screen (so the real width will depend on actual screen size), whereas
+## (10f)[white]{a} will take 10 terminal cells, no matter how wide the screen
+## is.
+##
+## - color is optional (if you want the default one, leave the field empty).
+##
+## Note: You can give a column additional attributes by putting appropriate
+## character after displayed tag character. Available attributes are:
+##
+## - r - column will be right aligned
+## - E - if tag is empty, empty tag marker won't be displayed
+##
+## You can also:
+##
+## - give a column custom name by putting it after attributes, separated with
+## character ':', e.g. {lr:Length} gives you right aligned column of lengths
+## named "Length".
+##
+## - define sequence of tags, that have to be displayed in case predecessor is
+## empty in a way similar to the one in classic song format, i.e. using '|'
+## character, e.g. {a|c|p:Owner} creates column named "Owner" that tries to
+## display artist tag and then composer and performer if previous ones are not
+## available.
