I know it's the great effort that everyone took to create each "chorded" song, and I greatly appreciate all of them.  It's just that it only takes a little more time to "standardize" the presentation format.  Some of the titles are ALL CAPS, some don't have any caps at all, and there is an Eagle's song ("How Long" - if you look inside the lyrics) that is actually titled "367385."
At any rate, it bugs me. I've taken my "songbooks" and copied them into Word & Excel formats to edit and sort them so they match the iTunes Playlist I have that coincides with my selections.  I bought my first guitar last July (yes, a Cancer) for a birthday present to myself, then I listen to one song under ear-phones, on the "loop" setting...and can practice, over-and-over, the song of my choice.  I started with Mark Knopfler's - Who's Your Baby Now?
Here are my "Songbooks"...edited. What you don't see is the reverse format: Last Name, First Name (hidden column) that allows for the A-Z lists below.  You're all familiar with the way Chordie alphabetizes: First Letter or First Name...and reversing doesn't fix it.
Cheers,

Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
After creating my Songbook, I tried to print a copy...but the left margin is sooooo small that I can't 3-hole punch the document for presentation.  I'd like to change the default on the left margin, but can't, using my Printer options...is there a way on Chordie to do it?
Many thanks in advance.
