The lyrics auto scale up to fit the text to the width of the availabe screen. 
The page buttons for the song at the right side sometimes obscure the text and/or chords. I have tried to adjust the right display margin, but then the whole display width is decreased, including the page buttons and lyrics. 
Is there a way to set the right margin for the lyrics in such a way that it does not interfere with the page buttons?

Greetings! Bernd.

The attached screen shot is an example of page buttons overlapping the text

Hi Bernd

This is intended behaviour.  I had thought about that option, but decided against it - I am always trying to maximise the space for the lyrics, so they can be scaled as large as possible.  The page buttons do overlay on top of the lyrics, but they can be set with lower opacity to allow the text behind to still be visible.  I have also added (for beta 11) a toggle to use smaller page buttons.

Hopefully you understand the reasoning behind this.  Most of my users run the app of a screen size smaller than 7 inches.  If I placed the lyrics inside the margin created by the page buttons, this would drastically reduce the lyrics/chord font size.

I don't see any way to have the page buttons auto hide.  Seems like that might be something I might want.  Was it a thing in V5?
Just a thought.
Btw, I'm really liking V6. Great work!
