My Simon & Patrick guitar has always stayed in tune really well, but just recently I need to retune every time I pick it up. The top E is usually way flat, but there are usually a couple of other strings slightly out. So I tune it up (with my electronic tuner), play it for ten minutes or so, and it goes out again! I can't see any damage to it, or loose struts - would it just be the strings? They aren't very old, 6 months or so - they are Earthwood Lights (11-52).
I DID sell my Norman recently, though - perhaps the S&P is missing it?!

I really need to start working on a new repertoire, and need to get 30 or so songs down on paper. I usually get Mrs Norm to print them for me, but, tbh, they never quite work out how I want them! And I would rather not bother her, either! I'm no good with word-processing myself, unless there is a simple way to do it that I don't know of...
Just wondering if anyone has any good tips for laying out lyrics on paper? I need the words fairly big and bold, ideally, so I can read them without glasses (vanity rules), and double-spaced so I can write in the chords. So, most songs would spread over 2 sheets of paper, but that's OK. I may just write them out manually, but normal black biro/ballpoint pen is not thick enough to be legible in low light, so perhaps there is a better type of pen to use?
Thanking you all in advance...
Cheers!
