Hi, I am using the Chord + Lyrics tab to create chord charts for live performance (no lyrics, only chords by section).

I’ve noticed a screen-size inconsistency:

  • On a phone screen, the chords for the next section are visible in advance.

  • On a laptop screen, the chords for the next section remain hidden until playback reaches that section.

For live performance, it would be very helpful to see at least the first chord, or ideally the entire next section, ahead of time so the musician can prepare.

I’ve attached screenshots from the laptop view for reference.
Is there a way to enable this behavior on the laptop screen. it would also be helpful to change the font size of the section names to incorporate it

Hey @khoslaraghu,

To make more lines visible on your laptop at once, you could decrease the lyrics’ font size by adding either the [small] or [tiny] attribute to the track name, e.g. Vox +LYRICS [small].

Let me know if that works for you. I’m looking forward to your reply!

Kind regards,
Léo
