GUEST,Grishka -

I've used what I think would be the Word equivalent of your method for printed lyrics, but it would take some study to feel comfortable with it in html.

In Word, you can insert a formula field, use the array switch to stack two elements one above the other, align left. Put the chord in as the first element and the lyric up to the next chord. Repeat.

In "field view" in Word your first <div looks like

{eq \a \al (C7,Suddenly a )}

Shift-F9 switches it to the "text view" that you print, which should look just like your first bit.

Note for those who want to try it, the { and } are not characters you type. You have to "Insert Field" or "Ctl-F9" to insert them as "field markers." The rest of it can just be typed in. Shift-F9 is a toggle that flips you between viewing the code and viewing the result.

And of course Ctl-= toggles in and out of subscript, Ctl-Shift-= (same as Ctl-+) toggles in and out of superscript.

Once you have the array set up, you can copy and paste it to repeat, and just change what's inside the ().
