Thank's for that. That is good to know. I just have so many other things on right now that seem to be draining my bank account. Maybe I will reconsider in the future if i get clear of the current load.

Thank you for your replies guys. I will have to keep searching by the look of it. I tried Songsheet generator and didn't care for it much, so uninstalled it. I have to sort something soon as I have just wasted my entire Sunday messing with GuitarTapp and it losing stuff. I eventually got all my files up to date and began building setlists from scratch and part way through it corrupted and lost the all my setlists. It is so flakey to be unbelievable. Could be some aspect of windows 10., But either way I have had enough of it.
Throughout the day I must have downloaded every software that runs on Windows 10 and tried them all. Not one does it all. They all seem to lack the finer touches to make life easier. But if you just take a look at the options available for iPad they are great. But I do not own one of those and never will. Onsong looks great but they will not do a windows version of it. Chordie works to a point but lacks some things as already mentioned. Anyway.... thanks once again for your inputs.
Hi Doug. I just downloaded what is available from the Windows store yesterday. So assume it must be upto date? I am on a trial so far until i am happy it can do what i need.
My reason for looking at other packages right now is that I have been using GuitarTapp Pro for a couple of years and it seems that there is no longer any customer support from them. I have had many crashes and loss of files recently and their database system is painful to maintain. I need something more stable. I already have dropbox and Onedrive for backing up. I also have the GuitarTapp application on my Android smartphone for when i am out. I need a good system to replace what i have...
Must work on both Windows 10 and Android and be stable with easy recovery should there be any hiccups.
Must allow synchronisation between both devices easily
Must support the Chordpro format ( as many of the directives as possible) as all my files are in that format (now 1286 songs !)
Must have in-app editing of chordpro files
Ideally it Should support referencing an additional audio file as a backing track. ( I have this on Song Repertoire as well as on GuitarTapp)
It seems that so many options are available on iPad devices that do everything i need, but not many on Windows 10.
Thanks for your response.

Hello, I just downloaded the trial version of Chordie and imported some songs from my database to test it out. I use Chordpro format for all my stuff and note that none of the comments are displayed? Tabs shows within a song are not there. I have spent the past couple of years getting my files the way i want them to look on screen (currently 1263 songs) and cannot even consider re-writing them all to fit with Chordie. Is there something else that can be done? I would have expected the full Chorpro formatting to have been supported.
Chorpro directives i often use are:
inline
comment
define (as in chords)
start/end of tab
start/end of part
start/end of chorus
Thanks
Jeff
