Lyrics, Chords & PDF
Configure how lyrics, chords, and PDF documents are displayed.
Lyrics
Centered Text
Centers lyrics horizontally on the screen.
Font Style
Selects the font family used to display lyrics:
- Sans Serif: The clean system font. This is the default.
- Serif: A classic serif face in the style of Georgia.
- Mono: A fixed-width font (Menlo).
- Script: A handwritten, chalkboard-like face.
Individual passages can override this setting with font tags in the lyrics.
Tip
Mono is recommended when manually laying out lyrics or chords, as proportional fonts do not allow precise character alignment.
Default Size
Sets the default font size for lyrics when adding new songs.
Note
This only affects new songs. Existing songs retain their current size setting.
Size Modifier
Adjusts the font size of all songs to better fit different screen sizes. Use this when working with multiple devices to ensure lyrics appear consistently across different screen resolutions.
Adjust Editor Size
When enabled, the lyrics editor uses the font size configured for the song being edited. When disabled, the editor uses the standard system font size.
Hide ChordPro Directives
When enabled, ChordPro directives are hidden in the lyrics viewer. This affects structural directives such as {title:}, {artist:}, {key:}, {tempo:}, {start_of_chorus}, and {end_of_chorus}.
Chords
Hide Chords
Hides all lines containing chords from the lyrics display.
Transpose Chords
Shows transposed chords based on each song's transpose setting. Disable to always display the original chords as entered.
Note
Each song has its own transpose setting. Chords can also transpose automatically when the pitch of a song changes.
Apply Capo
When enabled, the capo position set for a song is taken into account when chords are displayed. Chords are lowered by the capo position, so a guitarist sees the shapes they actually finger rather than the sounding chords.
Leave this disabled if you want to always see the sounding chords, regardless of the capo.
Note
This requires Transpose Chords to be enabled.
Accidental Preference
Choose whether transposed chords should use flat (♭) or sharp (♯) accidentals.
Size Modifier
Adjusts the chord font size relative to the lyrics font size. Use this to make chords larger or smaller compared to the lyrics text.
Font Style
Selects the font family used for chord symbols, independently of the lyrics font. The same four options are available: Sans Serif, Serif, Mono and Script.
Tip
Giving chords a different font than the lyrics makes them easier to pick out at a glance. Choosing the same font makes them blend in.
Text Style
Applies an additional text style to chord symbols: Plain, Bold, Italic or Underline.
Scale Mode
Controls how PDF documents are scaled to fit the screen:
- Full Width: Scales the document to fill the screen width.
- Full Height: Scales the document to fit the screen height.
- Two Pages: Displays two pages side by side.
Invert Colors
When enabled, inverts the colors of PDF documents so they are displayed white on black instead of black on white.
Tap to Scroll
Controls whether tapping the left or right edge of a PDF document scrolls it by one screen. See Viewing and Navigation for details on the tap zones.
Disable this if you keep scrolling the document by accident — for example when you use a remote control or page turner for navigation and only touch the screen to zoom or annotate.
