That big gap at the beginning of the post was where I typed in the HTML code for "preformat". Duh! OF COURSE, it didn't show up on the post! What I was saying is that I had used the preformatting HTML code when I posted chords above lyrics, but, despite that, the chord postitions shifted in transmission.
Maybe I'll have to try Amos's suggestion of composing in Netscape Composer first and then posting it. Maybe that will solve the formatting problems.
