Topic: blank lines added to the beginning of song I corrected

I went to correct a song in the database [I am weary, Let me Rest by the Cox family] and even though the ONLY thing I did was change a few words in the song, when I went to view the correction and print it out, there had been quite a few [blank] lines added between the title and the beginning of the song, no longer allowing me to print it out on one page. I never added the lines and I don't seem to be able to get rid of them so the song fits reasonably on one page, any suggestions as to what the problem may be???

Re: blank lines added to the beginning of song I corrected

Hello manitou - I just went to the song and made some changes/corrections.  The 'extra' lines were from unnecessary coding that is usually ignored by chordie's formatting wizard.  I should print nicely now . . .


After you have made editing changes to a song, use the 'save' button under to edit pane.  Then use the 'return to song' button to get out of the editing mode.


I also 'fixed' a couple of other minor things I saw in the layout.  The title was in all lower case (so I capitalized first letters).  Also, each line of text had eight spaces to the left of the first word (I deleted the spaces). Also, the chords were set with a space between the chord and the text it went along with (generally, it is best for the chords to go right up against the corresponding word) - like this:


[G]Twinkle twinkle [C]little [G]star

[C]How I [G]wonder [D]what you [G]are

[G]Up a-[D]bove the [C]world so [D]high

[C]Like a [G]diamond [D]in the [G]sky

[G]Twinkle twinkle [C]little [G]star

[C]How I [G]wonder [D]what you [G]are


Notice that where a word is split by the chord change that I put in a dash preceding the chord brackets.  This helps to make it clear that the chord change occurs within the word and not at the start of the word.


Happy playing - although with a song like this one you're working on (all about death), I guess I should say something less upbeat?
