Text Page Settings

Text Page Settings is where you shape how text-based scores — lyrics sheets, ChordPro charts, and similar formats — look on screen. Text-heavy pages have different readability demands than PDFs, so tuning font and margin defaults here makes them easier to work with on stage.

ChordPro Layout

This setting chooses the layout preference used by ChordPro text pages. It does not change a page into plain text or Markdown; that format belongs to the song or score.

A good starting question: do you want to prioritize PagePilot's current chord-and-lyric layout, or stay closer to the legacy ChordWiki presentation?

Font & Page

Adjust font size and line spacing to find the right density for comfortable reading during a performance. Dial these in gradually based on your device size and how far you are from the music stand.

You can adjust these while watching the preview, so the safest approach is to tune them on the actual device you perform with. Line spacing in particular has a noticeable effect on chord-line clarity and how often you need to turn pages.

Margins

Increase or decrease the top, bottom, left, and right margins to control how much content fits on screen at once. Revisit this section when you want to fit a little more on screen or when the edges feel too cramped to read comfortably.

Troubleshooting

• Text is too small to follow — Increase the font size in Font & Page.
• Too much content crammed on one page — lyrics or chords are hard to read — Try widening the margins or increasing line spacing to reduce density.
• Margins are too generous and you are turning pages too often — Tighten the margins to fit more content per screen.
• Same content, but different songs need a different look — To override settings for a specific song (setlist item), check the display override options in Item Settings. Use that path when one text page should scroll while the rest of the app keeps page turns.
