1. Part letter print control
Can the Print Options menu be enhanced to add Part letter control (on/off) or force all part letters to be always on the bar# line?

There is no provision for separately turning on/off the part letters (a & b). I use part letters to designate a Verse or Chorus. Part letters currently show up in the lyrics line.
They only way to stop this from happening and eliminate the a/b overwrite on top of the lyrics is by selecting "don't show bar numbers" in the print options window.

2. Heading space (top/bottom) margin control
When printing a song there is no way to control the space around and below the Title. This results in the # staves per page to be reduced on page 1 and subsequent pages (2, etc.) to have a large blank at the top of the page instead of the correct # of staves as entered in the print options window. Page 2, etc. do not have the title on them either, just a large blank area the same size as Page 1.

3. Key signature per line
In the Lead sheet mode the key signature is displayed on every line, despite turning this off in the Print options menu. This is very confusing, messy and hard to read.

4. Add font size control for composer and copyright

5. Lead Sheet Window, Lead Sheet Options
When clicking "Chords above each track" in the Lead Sheet Options window, the key signature appears on every line and there is no control of the chord or lyric spacing which results in the lyrics being shown on a stave, not below it.

6. Print Preview, Print Page
The Print preview window correctly shows the selected # of staves on page 2 without the title or heading, but after "Print Page" is selected a blank heading (without the title) is actually printed. This causes a large blank space at the top of page 2 to appear.

Miorelli,
Good suggestions, and should be do-able. Thanks.
