Spacin'

Spacin' settin's be allowin' ye t' adjust how different types o' spaces be affectin' th' drawin' o' th' chord chart, savvy? Th' followin' options be available fer ye t' plunder:

Adjust Whitespace

When ye be enterin' chords above lyrics, chords be aligned t' lyrics underneath, matey. If there be no lyrics t' align with, th' chords be spaced usin' a standard space character. In variable-width fonts, th' space character be about 35% th' width o' other characters such as th' capital letter "M". This means that chords that appear t' have a lot o' spaces between 'em may appear closer together, Arrr!

Turnin' on th' adjust whitespace switch will be replacin' space characters with a different character when measurin'. This be helpin' t' compensate fer th' relatively narrow space character. Default be off.

Adjusted Space Character

If adjust whitespace be turned on, an underscore character be used as a proxy fer th' width o' space characters. Ye can be changin' which character be substitute t' fine-tune th' width, me hearty. Default be an underscore character.

Tab Spaces

Tabs be particularly problematic when makin' text-based chord charts, Blimey! This be because a tab character can have different meanin' dependin' on th' text editor or viewer. OnSong be replacin' tab characters with a series o' spaces t' avoid this issue. Options include between 0 and 20 space characters. Default be 8.
