Re: How to remove all notes and only show Chords and Lyrics?

[Dominic Sonntag]

Hi Jaap,

this is really great! It is now very close to what I need (but better without 
the use of
LyricText.Y-offset).

Now I have the problem that in *some* lines the chords are very far away from 
the lyrics
whereas in most lines, they are positioned very well.

Do you have any idea what's the reason for this and how I could solve it?

Kind regards
Dominic
