Reply To: Help: Format song lyrics with chords

Another “duct tape” idea would be to just type the chord right after the letter you want it to appear over (for example, type the first “a” after the “o” in down, so that it reads “doawn”) Then select the “a”, raise the baseline to an amount the you like, then put the cursor in front of the chord letter and kern it so close to the letter prior that the space the “a” used to take up now disappears. I tried this with your first line of lyrics, and it seemed to work fairly well. You have to make adjustments to the baseline shift if you increase the point size, and when you change fonts the kerning might need to be adjusted. But overall, when I increased the font size to make the text wrap and when I changed the font to several different fonts, the chords basically stayed where they were supposed to. You can apply the baseline shift with a character style. I don't think you can do the same with the kerning, esp since the amount of negative kerning needed will differ for each chord notation. But it's an idea :)
