Title: Improved rendering of chords and lyrics
Post by: pheldal on October 27, 2019, 04:32:03 AM
Is it possible to shrink the display of information a little when there are lines with only chords and whitespace. In those cases I would prefer if BH simply would skip rendering the empty line of text. The text line is skipped when there is no text or whitespace. I would extend that to only print the line if it has visible characters outside of chords.

I.e:

  [C]    [F]   [G]
  [C]    [F]   [G]

...should render as:

   C   F   G
   C   F   G

...with no line in between

Along the same lines I would also like to have BH insert spaces when rendering bracketed chords where there are none for enhanced readability. The web-interface is where it is hardest to read a string of complex chords. To manually add whitespace for improved readability is currently not an option for the reason given above.

I'm not following what the problem is and perhaps that's because some of the spacing you've entered isn't displaying on the forum. Can you include some screen shots? Or submit a help ticket and use the app's built-in screen shot function.

I have attached 3 screenshots, one from the app and two from the web-interface that illustrate the problem.


The same two principles should apply in all places where chords are displayed, except from in the editor. The behaviour should be consistent across platforms, including the webapp:

Please try the new website update and Android version released today. I think this will address all the issues listed above.

Yes, that is much better.

I've closed the corresponding ticket.
