That looks very good Don.

I started using HTML to format song word pages I wanted to print - in MSIE you could decide the percentage fit to the page, and fiddle around with font sizes and types etc... and your idea would work well there too.

But the consequent uneven spacing between the words reminds me .... I remember playing with Stan - and his printed cheat sheets used to have one line above each line in the 1st verse and the chorus that had the chords.

Problem was... the chord names would sorta 'drift around a bit' from the correct rhythm spots - not a problem if you already KNEW the tune, but much of the stuff he used to generously print up and hand around to us victims Impromptu Scratch Band Members was new to me, at least to my attempts to play it on my new (then) instrument (P/A)... so one had a line of text, and a line above with random scatterings of chord names - always made that first run thru live (practice! what's that?) of 1st verse and chorus a little bit exciting.... :-)
