Hoping someone can help. I Have a song with an MGU extension - so there is a melody there. I can see it when clicking on 'Notation' or 'Lead Sheet' - trouble is I cant make it print. Looks great on screen BUT when I print (to either my attached printer or a PDF file) I get the chords and the lyrics - but not the melody. I've spent a LOT of time in the options window, the notation options and every corner of the Print dialog window. I know it should work because I was able to do this in the 2009 version... any help greatly appreciated. Darrin

If you could post a copy of the file for some of us to look at, we might be able to figure it out. PM me if you don't want to post it publicly.

In the meantime, this might also be worth looking at.

When in Lead Sheet mode...

1. Click on the "Print" button (#1 on the image below)

2. Make sure that #2 is set to "Lyrics Below"

3. Activate "Print Note-Based Lyrics" (#3)

Thanks for that but as the original post says - printing the chords AND the lyrics is not the problem. It's getting the melody to print on the stave. cheers, D

Apologies for that! My brain must have taken a U-turn.

Under Options... have you tried returning to factory settings? (I'd go with the upper "MOST settings" option first off and see what happens.)

Noel

Thanks for chiming in guys, I just solved it. I missed the very obvious last night (tired) the Notes AND Staff lines options in the Lead Sheet window print dialog box need to be checked. Trick for new players. Thanks, Darrin
