HOW TO: Increase size of bar-lyrics display text - 12/02/17 05:32 PM
I use two settings to maximise the display of 'Bar Lyrics' text.
The below was assembled using BIAB 2018 (Windows edition).
Minimise lines of chord display
See IMAGE 1 below
1. Open Display Options.
2. Disable "Auto-adjust # rows" (#2 on IMAGE 1)
3. Set the maximum number of rows visible on-screen (#3). (I suggest 4 - 6)
Increase font size of bar-lyrics
See IMAGE 2 below
4. Click on the dropdown menu (#4 on IMAGE 2) and select "Bar-lyrics layer" (#5).
5. Select "Choose Font" (#6).
6. Select a font (#7) (or leave as is if you like the present font) and select a font size (#8).
7. 'OK' your way out of the windows and back to the chordsheet.
The bar-lyrics text should now be showing at the newly selected font-size and adjusted by the number of rows of visible chords (IMAGE 3).

Noel
