hi, my issue is somewhat similar, however, it involves just wanting to be able to use the majority of the length across an 8.5 by 11 letter size paper for chords/lyrics 2 line style via chordpro files.
basically, i don't like the fact that so many tabs/ chord sheets only go halfway across the page. it makes songs take up more pages and space than i would like, more page turning, etc....
its tedious to drag the chords and next line down separately) to accomplish this. the best thing i have come up with utilizes a free program called ChordSmith and importing a 2 line style song or a chordpro song (via pasting) into Chordsmith then eyeballed (or trial and erroring) how long each line of chordpro info can be and still fit/line up with the margins in my microsoft word ms word or open office document. then i just hit the convert from chordpro button and its been working good. be sure to always use a fixed width font like courier.
i would like anybodys input about ways to do this pro or con and reasons why.
thanks,
