Hi.

I have created a simple song and I would like to have it display with stability on the screen while it plays as I observe the chord sheet.

What happens is that at the end it "auto-scrolls" ahead of itself to display the next line, which is in fact nothing as that next line is beyond the end of the song. Then it jumps back to the beginning.

I just want to see all the chords on the screen at once without them moving while I visually follow the "black bar" to know where the song is playing currently.

My first thought is "zoom out" so the auto-scroll does not have to go beyond the displayed bars. Can I zoom out? If so, how.

Or, can I disable the auto-scroll?

Or something else .. ?

Picture of full song form is attached.

My thanks to whomever can advise me!

Hi sj,

What I would do in the situation is to go to "Options | Preferences | Display" and disable the "Auto Adjust Rows" option. I'd then set my "Number of Columns" to 4 and "Number of rows" to 4 or 5.

This manually overrides auto-fit default.

Regards,
Noel

Thank you, very helpful!

some what curious here however that chord selection sounds to these ears rather odd

and having said that perhaps it's because I've only had 20 cups of coffee up to this point and my ears are not buzzing in tune to the Key of A

It's a 12-bar blues form, with extra measures for the head of the tune which are then dropped during the choruses.

Actually, accomplishing that structurally in BIAB is my next question. <g>
