My Chord grid makes 2 columns impossible - learning - 03-25-2025
Hi!
I am new on Chordpro and still learning on Mobilesheets. A few weeks ago I finally managed to get my chord grids to look good even when I zoom my songs to show in two columns. But suddenly (I think I have not changed anything) the chord grids fill up the full page width, which makes it impossible to show the text in two columns.
What can be the problem? Is it because of updates in mobilesheets or can it be some setting I have happened to change? I provide a screenshot of how it looks now, and my .cho-file.
Thanks!

That is the proper behavior. Chord grids should expand to fill the page. If you want extra space, adjust the grid directive to have more cells, or add a large right margin.

Thanks Mike!
I manage to add a right margin to make my grid width smaller than the lyrics width, but that still does not change the song to appear in two columns instead of two pages. (It becomes two columns if I delete the whole grid)
But maybe this is what you meant in your answer, ghat the grid (with or without margins/empty cells) will always fill up the page width, which means columns is impossible? Though, I managed to get it to work earlier so I can't see what has changed.
Thanks for a great app, I love it ?

Oh sorry, I was focused on the wrong thing. You cannot have multiple columns when using a chord grid now as it will always expand to fill the page. You might have been able to do that previously due to the incorrect behavior where I limited the maximum width of a chord grid. There was a discussion about that on the forum that pointed out why this was wrong. The current behavior matches the main ChordPro application in terms of how it manages chord grids. So the fact that you could have multiple columns before was only due to the incorrect behavior.
I don't know if there are any plans in the ChordPro specification to support setting a fixed width for a chord grid. If that was supported, then you would be able to accomplish what you are asking for.
