Topic: suggestion for print page

hey all,

been using chordie for years, but just registered a couple days ago (reason being the thingy with beatles songs in the UK, thought maybe if I registered I could enter where I'm from and not be blocked).

anyway, just a thought of a useful feature on the print page;

it would be nice to be able to edit before printing (not changing the original, just changing how/what it prints).

sometimes the chord notations don't line up with the words, or there's duplicate/redundant text, or maybe I just want to print one little section......

anyway I often find myself doing a cut/paste into a text editor just so I can arrange the way it prints to suit my taste.

would be nice if the print page could include some simple editing tools.....

Your wish has been granted........... well it has been for a while. smile

Look at the bottom of the page for the words "Please improve this song" click on this and hey presto you can make your changes.

Re: suggestion for print page

Really????

I looked at that, but it looks like it actually changes the original, looks like you have to save the changes before you can even get back to select the "print" page.
and I certainly don't want to screw up someone else's work.......

what I'm talking about is on the "print" page, where you can select text size, and grid format.......

you can highlight the text, but you can't do anything with it, would be nice to be able to copy/cut/paste or add/change text before printing without affecting the original work.

Re: suggestion for print page

If you go into the edit fuction and make your change there copying and pasting etc. then save your changes. Go to the print page option as you describe it and print the page with corrections. Then go back to the edit fuction where you can revert back to the original lay out of the song if you want.
What ever you do to the song in your edit function won't effect the original layout if you revert back.
