Posted By: Lesley55 Lyrics and chords get jumbled in print out - 12/31/17 06:42 AM
When I try to print out music (which is all in the treble clef) the lyrics for one staff overlap the chords for the staff below. There is a too big a gap between the lyrics and the staff associated with those lyrics.

I tried adjusting a lot of options, but couldn't fix this.

Another problem: There seems to be no option for not displaying the bar number in notation view. I record the song when it is playing in notation view (using other software, Camtasia) and I don't want the bar numbers showing for that because my lyrics are chromatic harmonica tabs, which are also numbers. What I have been doing is making the bar numbers very small for recording, but they still show a bit.
Lesley,

Under "Print" options in Lead Sheet Mode (#1 on image), disable the "Auto Set" (staves per page) (#3) and set the "Staves per page" (#2) to 6, 7 or 8. That should work.

As far as I'm aware, bar numbers are not optional in Notation Mode.

Regards,
Noel
