Moving chords

Gerrym

Hello all. When Iimport a txt file with the song words and the chords in the correct position once I zoom in the chords move to different places. Is there a way to correct this please?

peter

Yes, you need to place the chords in brackets just before the word you want them to be. ST3 will then extract the chords and always place them above the word they precede.

peter yes Peter I know how to do that but when I increase the text size. The chords move over different words

Ah I see, when zooming in and out it seems that I need to recalculate the number of whitespaces needed to position the chords correctly. I will try to fix this.

In the meantime you can activate the Fixed Width Font in the settings. With this font, the chord position will always stay correct.

Zoomed in the chords move to different words

I see, the problem is that at one point your lines no longer fit into the screen and a new line break is introduced. This is something I can't fix in code so you need to make sure that your lyrics fit into a single line in your desired font size.
