Spyros - sorry for the delay. I wanted to look into this more before replying to make sure I know exactly how the code is behaving. MobileSheets looks at the font metrics for the currently selected font to determine what the line height should be. This basically accounts for every character the font supports, and the line height is distance between the highest and lowest points reached by any character in the font. So I always skip that many pixels to ensure characters do not overlap. The line spacing setting determines how many pixels are added in addition to that line height to space things out further. So you cannot condense lines in a way that could cause overlap at the moment. If users want to be able to do that, I'd either have to support a negative line spacing multiplier or add a different line offset setting.

I do want to do a little more analysis to see if there is any code that results in more spacing between chords and lyrics compared to the spacing between just lyrics.

Hi Mike, hope it's OK to post to this older thread, I'm very new to this app, literally found, installed and tested it this week and I'm so impressed I have just bought the paid version and expect to gig with it at the end of the month. I have moved over from GuitarTappPro which I have used for gigging for years, but it has been unsupported for quite some time and the new version is next to useless for me. So first of all thank you for creating and maintaining this amazing app.

I found this thread while searching for a solution to this exact issue as I was trying to format the display of songs. A way to reduce, or define, the distance between the chords and the text they are above would be a huge help for me. I have a brain injury and despite setting the chord colour and text display to be as readable as possible, having such a large gap between the chords and text creates almost a disassociation between the chord and text, as far as my brain is concerned at least and when I have been used to almost no gap at all for so long, it does make songs at times much more difficult to follow. The ability to define the distance would also help keep the number of pages per song to a minimum, as I'm finding songs that would have fitted on a single page of GuitarTapp now require 2 pages on MobileSheets and simply reducing the distance between chords and text would resolve that too.

I understand you have a lot of feature requests and maintenance on the app and from what I've read a lot of stuff you're already working on, but I just wanted to throw my tuppence worth in to show that others may be interested in this feature if is at all possible to implement.

Thanks

David
