fj and Graham............ Thank you for your supportive comments because they will help me to finish my work on another composition that's in the works . At the moment I'm working on a " cover song " Somewhere In The Night - a ballad written by Richard Kerr and lyricist Will Jennings which was a US Top 20 hit for both Helen Reddy and Barry Manilow in the 70's.

Thanks so much mate! That will do the trick. I'm embarrassed that it was so simple. Where I got hug up is that I was going into the Lease Sheet Options/ Notation Options and I saw font choices for everything except tab. This will work for me when I am playing off my laptop, though I still wish there was an option that gave large font size for tabs at the printing stage. That way I could print a lead sheet with chords and tab large enough to play from. I can make the chords big but not the

After much thinking I finally decided to get a tablet for charts, pdf's, irealpro, etc we've all talked about for gigs. This is all I'm using it for, nothing else so all I need is a good, basic inexpensive large screen tablet. The el cheapo's I see online all have terrible reviews, poor screens, etc so I wind up checking out the new Amazon Fire HD 10.1 and bought it last night from Best Buy. It's only $149, has a high resolution screen and gets great reviews. Any other Android tablet with de

I'm 2 months older than Bob and lived in a nearby iron mining town about 7 miles away. Treasured memories for certain.

A producer in Nashville has a blog and video series that are fantastic. He has charted out by hand the Nashville notation and Alphabetic Chord Charts for: 1. The top country hits on the charts now. 2. The "songs of the year" for about the last eight years. http://www.beairdmusicgroup.com/blog/ http://www.beairdmusicgroup.com/songwriting-tips-videos/ Both links are highly recommended. Larry also explains what they are doing arrangement wise, explaining things like the breakdown c

One of the hardest things to do is write a hit song in a Dog eat Dog world. The other thing is write comedy in to a song. That was a good old fun song. Well done.

Thanks Matt. I will call tech support. I know some of the their older midi styles do this automatically, so there must be a way. I just don't know how!
