It doesn't seem like the two-column option in Full-screen mode is working any more... When I click the two-column button, it now just shows the chord diagrams in the right column, rather than wrapping the song around, the way it used to... the two-column view is really useful for longer songs, so I don't have to keep tapping "Page Down" in the middle of a song!

Started with a pretty crappy Johnson -- it was $30, and definitely played like it. I upgraded after awhile to a Flea, which is a very nice uke for learning on... nice tone, decent tuners. The intonation higher up the neck is pretty wretched, but overall it's a very nice value. I mostly play a Bushman Koa soprano now, which is a very well-made instrument, but around $400 (gift from my awesome girlfriend!), as well as an old Harmony baritone uke from the late 50's that I picked up on eBay for around $75. I do agree with the suggestion to restring any uke with good strings (I always use Aquilas, but I haven't experimented much -- I'm sure there are other excellent brands). The strings that come with a uke are very often terrible and plinky sounding (even more than the uke normally is!).
