I found the song I want on the internet, but not on chordie. Some of the chords are there, but not all and not in the right places. I want to edit the song in a text editor to put it into chordii format and keep it in my Chordie My Songbook. If I have read the Read Me correctly, this is something I should not do. Is that correct?

Topic: Printing my songbook (0 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Hi. I've been away for awhile. I want to print some songs from my songbook and I don't see that box on the right that used to allow me to transpose and change font sizes and stuff. I have tried the cntrl - to change my resolution all the way down to a point where I can't read the print at all and it doesn't appear. Do you have any suggestions?
UPDATE: I went to view somebody else's songbook and was able to print from it. I wonder why my songbook doesn't have the option.

A question that comes to mind:
"My Songbook" is a chordie thing. My "practice ones" is something you have. What are "practice ones?" Is it possible that you "moved" your songs instead of "copying" them?

My magic panacea is reboot and try again.

Am I hitting report instead of post reply? I'm sorry. I think I'm getting it. I was trying to use the print songbook button and only select a song instead of selecting the song and printing from there. Thanks for hanging in with me while I learn the in's and out's.

Thanks, Roger. I wrote to admin@chordie.com. I bit the bullet and just fixed all the chords on a version that at least had most of the chord positions in the same places I wanted mine. Then I saved it. I rearranged all my songs into Song Books which will be Chapters in my gig book. I've been trying to print out only one song at a time as I correct them for my own use. Is that not possible from my song books? I've found a work around, but it sure would be easier if I could print one song at a time from my song books. I also would love to be able to print the songs in my songbook out with larger print , but that doesn't seem to be happening, either.

As usual, I haven't made myself clear. I can see clearly now that moving the chord grids and changing the print size is done at print time as explained quite nicely by Roger with picrtures and arrows... Thank you, Roger.
Now I'm fuzzy on how to save it transposed into my Song Book.
I would like to be able to save the transposed version into my Song Book and then use chordie to further edit the song so as to fit my style of playing, change a few words and or chords, etc. So far, I've not been able to save the transposed song into my SongBook although I have been successfull in printing out the transposed song with the chord grids where I want them and the print big enough to see.
Am I trying to do things in the right order?

I've been gone for a little bit and it looks like some major stuff has been going on at Chordie. So I just transposed the song and tried to save it to my songbook, but it doesn't appear to have saved the transposed version. What did I miss?

Maybe I wasn't clear. The problem presents itself when I am printing. I need to know how to select the position of the chords when I am printing. Thank you for your response. I hope to here from you again, very soon.

I love this website. Transposing is so easy. I am having a little problem with chord images. In edit view in my songbook, the chord images sow up across the bottom of the page which is great except that I need to transpose the music. When I select the song title it automatically remembers the transposition I saved to the songbook, but it changes the chord image position to the side and then the images cover the words of part of the first verse. Is there some way to get the chord images back on the bottom of the page?
Thanks so much.
