Many spaces before lyrics

[Taba Gratte]

Hi, 

Just starting with that great app :) and the only thing i can't find is how to have many spaces before the lyrics because the chord comes before the lyrics 

I would like it to look like this

C

   I'm here without you, baby 

G 

   But you're still on my lonely mind  

It seems to work for the first line of a verse but not after

thanks

Because of support for non fixed width fonts, the app splits the chords and lines into table columns and trims each column.  Additionally, the app does its best to maximise the space taken up by the lyrics, so tries to strip out what it sees as wasted space.

You can force an additional space by ensuring you have extra space(s) after the chord (if there is only one) and before the lyrics.  This will add in an extra space, but will be restricted to one extra space, but giving you what you've asked for.

.e.g. (with all text highlighted to show spaces)

.G  

   The lyrics 

If you do want more space, you can trick the app to make the song split the lyrics by adding a small . into the chord line

.G      . 

        The lyrics 

This will still display the . but it will allow more space at the start.
