Is there an option I'm missing to be able to print out the chords as per the chord sheet. For instance on bar 43 of the chord sheet there are only two bars on that line, where as when I print the chords out it puts the 4 bars on that line. Hope this makes sense I've attached a clip of what I mean. Thanks Brian

Unfortunately that option does not work for the actual ..printing.. of the chords, it just shows the change on the BIAB chord sheet.

You want the printed music chart to follow the format of the Chord Sheet, including new lines in the notation whenever a part marker is encountered, the same as the chord sheet.
I'm not sure, but others may know more.

That is exactly what I mean AudioTrack, if the print out of chords could be the same format as the chord sheet in BIAB. Maybe there is no print option, I've tried every which way. It's just a bit off putting when I hand a print out of the chord sheet to a student and then looks at me cross eyed.

I don't know if this helps, but I have had plenty issues with the lead sheet printing. I wanted the same as in the "fake sheet mode", where I had 4 bars on each single line. The "fake lead sheet mode" was perfectly fine, but when I tried to print to PDF, I had all bars after each other filling up the line space. These were about 8 bars on a line, and was not very easy to read.
I changed 2 things: - i added a structure to the song that i quickly entered, using the "song form dialog" in the edit menu. It does not need a repeating structure, but make sure every part of the song is in a structure, and add it in the letters below (if there is not repeating structure, just enter ABCDEF...). - Instead of trying the print button on the "fake sheet mode", go to the notation editor (which does not show what you want to print), but then select the chords only in the print options window alternatively set nr of staves per page), and use the "ok - preview graphics" button to see the result.
Strangely enough, it does use the same structure and the correct formatting when using the same print icon from the notation window. I honestly find this very counter intuitive, but this seems to work. I don't understand why the same print icon button on the notation editor has a different output then on the lead sheet.
Don't know if it can help anyone...

PS: great work on the new interface in the 2026 version, we're finally getting this more user friendly. Good work!
