MobileSheets Pro/ChordPro - only using half (if that) of the display

As far as fit width, that really only applies to PDFs and image files. It will stretch the page to fit the width of the tablet screen. A chord pro file doesn't have a predefined width or height. I render it using the whole screen, so I'm confused about what you are encountering.  It sounds to me like what you really want is the font to be scaled up. If that's what you want, tap on the "A" at the top right corner of the song editor, then tap "Text Display Settings", and then you can either increase the font size, or tap "Auto-Size Font" at the bottom which will increase the font size as much as possible without causing wrapping (which sounds like what you are describing). If you go into the application Settings->Text File Settings, there is an "Auto-Size Font" option along with a maximum auto size font setting (to ensure text isn't enlarged too much). These apply to new files you import. If you enable those, then you don't have to manually size the font later.

Ahh... See I expected the fit-to-width to enlarge the formatted Chordpro output to "fit the screen".  That would also explain why it made little difference on the orientation of the tablet.  I will "play" with the font sizing, etc.  I just saw "fit-to-width" and took it literally.  Big Grin

The "holder" for the tablet should arrive tomorrow (so I can mount it on a mic stand) along with the BT page turner, though not certain I will risk this Sunday's worship service as a trial run.

Currently transitioning from a couple-hundred pages of printed chord sheets to a "tablet" (all currently done using MS Word, styles, etc. so ample pain to go around   Wink ).  The editing part might become easier in the near future.  Ultimately planning on using a Samsung Chromebook Plus (and before you ask... yes it can run Android and Linux apps  https://www.androidcentral.com/these-are...linux-apps)... so the editing of text with the Chromebook in notebook "orientation" would make that far less painful than text editing Chordpro files on your typical tablet (and hey... it has a built-in pen/stylus too!  woohoo).  At the moment I have to resume the transition of printed (Word) pages to Chordpro, but fortunately the other application I have a license for provides a tab-to-Chordpro converter so I can paste the raw text with chords into that, convert it, and then copy/paste the resulting Chordpro formatted output to a text file for transfer into MobileSheets.  The one advantage of that application... as I own both the Android and Windows versions, it has the ability to use the mouse, select blocks of text, and apply a Chordpro directive to it.  For example I can select the Chorus, right-click, and choose {soc}/{eoc} from the menu and it will bound the selected text with the start/end chorus directives.  That said MobileSheets provides additional Chordpro features (completely ignoring the PDF annotation feature).
