Can you not already do that? If you uncheck the "Place Chords Above Text" option, then the chords will be displayed in the lyrics. This only applies to chord pro files though. If you are asking if I can do this with text files, I'd really rather not, as it would cause significant complexity. I need to add a text to chord pro converter at some point - that will be my solution for that issue.

I will need to spend a fair amount of time improving the editor - what is there is just something rather basic that I put in place for simple changes, but I recognize that it's missing a lot of important features.

Thanks Mike, The request was for individual songs to have that option. To change the default view is too cumbersome to change it for one song, then change it back, even if it was not buried in the settings menu. My preference is to have tabs saved to fit to my screen and as readable and simple as possible. My eyesight and mental focus make page turns, scrolling, and switching settings collapse into performance mistakes. 
Too bad that ultimate guitar does not export chordpro. I look forward to a text editor update.
