Okay, this is another newbie question.

But it seems that I can only use 36 bars before the rest of them are all greyed out and unusable.

I am thinking it has something to do with the repeat symbol(which I didn't put there or at least don't think I did) on bar 32 but I am not sure why I cannot access the rest of the sheet.

Any ideas on how to lengthen that?

Simply change the End Bar to a value less then 255 and the grey will open up..

Be aware that MusicStudent's image shows only 1 chorus in the settings in his image .. if yours is repeating this may be set to a different number of 'choruses' and will repeat these bars.
If you want a more linear approach try 'Unfolding' the song.
This is currently found under Edit-Song Form (and probably other places).

The above advice is great for if the grey bars are only at the end of your song. Very rarely, as a person keeps adjusting the bars as they are working through their song it can happen where grey bars are showing in the middle of your song. Sometimes adjusting the bar numbers again can help this, but if not then usually copying your chords and pasting them into a new song project file works to fix it. If this problem happens to you, you can always contact us for assistance through either live chat or email support@pgmusic.com.

Also, while slightly different to your request, you can have greyed out areas in the middle of a song if this Display Options setting is selected. This will start the next section on a new line in the Chorus Sheet after a Part Marker:

Yes, this! I was just going to mention the same thing myself. I find this is really helpful as I do find that the part markers can through some people off as they think the bars are not accessible instead of a visual break, so knowing your way around the different display options can be very helpful!


Cheers,

Thanks, AudioTrack. Exactly what's I've been looking for (New line for every section). I knew there had to be a setting for that.
