I was able to reproduce what you where seeing last time.
If you post the url, I will most likely be able to fix it. What you are seeing is most likely just problem with the server being overloaded. I am moving to a more powerful server very soon.

* Open the page that looks strange.
* Press ctrl-alt-PrtScr (The last button is not commonly used, but you will find it on your keyboeard). This copies the screen to your clipboard.
* Go to your email-program. Start a mail, and press ctrl-v (copies the clipboard to your mail)
No, that is not possible. This also opens up new copyright issues, and I am not sure I would want to go down that road.
Great. Lets fix the last issues as well.
Could you please post an url to where you are seeing this problem. Preferably an url from the index (not from the songbook).
I am going to make a new version of the print stylesheet, so now is the best time to get these errors out of the way.
Please send a screenshot of what you are seeing to <a href="mailto:admin@chordie.com" target="_blank">admin@chordie.com</a>
Most likely you will not have to recreate your songbook.
Thanks a lot for the good bug reports, ramans.
I have fixed multiple print problems. I think all the problems you reported should be fixed for IE6, IE7 and Firefox. Could you please check.
I have not tested in Opera yet.
I find it very strange that the IE7 error on the Brian Wilson song is still there. I have tested it in IE myself, and the problem should really have disappeared. Could you give me a new screenshot? There are some minor details there that could give me a hint to whether you are getting a page from the cache. Try to get both the end of page one and the start of page two on the shot.
Lets leave the Opera problems for now. Ill look at them later.
To be sure to get a new version of the song, please just click it in your songbook. Click "remove from songbook" and then "add to songbook" without leaving the page.
I guess Firefox is most reliable. It is my development browser, and definately tested most.
I was referring to this song:
<a href="http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/teman.com/guitarz/TABs/b/brianwilson.txt" target="_blank"> http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/teman … z/TABs/b/b rianwilson.txt</a>
It had printing errors on the second page in IE. These problems should be solved now. Please confirm.
In general the best pages for debugging is songs directly from the index. If you see the text "?url" in the link, it is an indirect link. It is a link from your songbook. If you have made changes there, I might not see them when I follow the link logged in as another user. This means I am not sure I am seeing the same layout problems as you are referring to.
Songbooks are very hard to debug, since they are very complex. What I have to do is then to copy the songbook, and see what songs I can delete keeping the bug. In general it usually takes 10x the time to fix the bug.
I am sorry that some of my comments might seem a bit "lazy". I really do care about these problems, and as very determined to fix all layout-related problems. I do also really appreciate that people are spending their time filing bug reports - it really helps the site moving forward.
Unfortunately I am very busy right now.. Please be patient with me.
I have done a change that should fix the problem with the Brian Wilson-song. As it seem to be related with converting the file from crd/txt to chopro, the problem might still be there if you load it from your songbook (the chopro-convertion is cached). You will then have to delete the song, and add it again.
I have not tested in multiple browsers, and have not tested on the songbooks yet.
Ramans: Could you test a bit, and give me feedback about what works, and what errors you still are seeing?
I am using IE6, Firefox 1.4 and 2.0 and the latest Opera on my development computer. Unfortunately it is hard to run IE6 and IE7 on the same computer, and I usually find it easier to develop for IE6 (most users, and not very many regression bugs).
I do not see any problems in IE6. I do have IE7 at work. I will take a look at it there.
Take a look at the public songbooks. Lots of great beginner books there.
It would be a great feature, and actually not very complicated. I will look into it. It is on my todo list.
This is generated from a manual list. Here you can see the list for guitar:
<a href="http://www.chordie.com/petehall.php" target="_blank">http://www.chordie.com/petehall.php</a>
It needs some editing to make such a list for other instruments, but if you could help me, it would then be possible to automatically generate the chord images.
Do you still get this error?
Sorry for the delay in responding.
Try to load this song directly:
<a href="http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/teman.com/guitarz/TABs/b/brianwilson.txt" target="_blank"> http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/teman … z/TABs/b/b rianwilson.txt</a>
Do you have any printing problems here?
39 songs there. Could you give me 1-2-3 concrete example of errors, and what browsers you are seeing them in. Ill start with that.
The site uses stylesheets for printing. This eliminates the need for a special printer friendly page.
Just print it using file-print in your browser, and you will get the print-friendly version automatically.
I got lots of questions about this from people who never had tried to print a song complaining about the lack of printer friendly versions. So I added a print icon. But really, this is just a javascript shortcut to the "file-print"-function...
I have been in contact with the Safari development team on this bug, and I got a tips of a workaround that might work.
Can any of you Safari-users test if printing works now?
The line break problem should be fixed now. If it still appears, try pressing shift-ctrl-R. If you still can see it when printing, please tell me.
I am working on the line break problem. I hope to have that fixed soon.
As to other printing problems. Here is what I need.
* Url to the song. Artistname+songtitle is not enough because a lot of songs has multiple versions in Chordie. Preferable a song that you have access to if you are not logged in (ie not a song in your songbook).
* Name of the browser you are using
* Description of the problem. Ideally this is very concrete, like "on the first verse, C7 and G7 is overlapping".
Since font-size can be adjusted by the browser settings, these might be local problem. Please send a screenshot of the small fonts to <a href="mailto:admin@chordie.com" target="_blank">admin@chordie.com</a>, and I can tell you if this is a local problem or a site problem.
It is impossible to print songs using Mac and the Safari browser.
It is hard to fix this bug since I do not own a Mac myself.
Are there anybody who own a Mac, and are able to reproduce this problem, that could help me debug this. It will probably involve sitting about an hour on an IM client, reloading the page and telling me what happens.
Great!
Ill make a not that there are some cache-issues using that feature. I do not think I will try fixing this.
I will however try to make a "format remote song"-feature. Here I can work around the cache issues.
There might be a bug here. But before I start figuring this out, could you just rename the file? Just to sort out any cache issues.
Post the new url here..
You could also use {sot} and {eot} around the tabs. This looks a bit better.
