In case I have a line without lyrics, just chords, the position of the chords depends on the content of the next line. This should not be the case because the file is clearly in ChordPro syntax.
   
The same file rendered with ChordPro 6.060 shows that a font with 'real flats' as mentioned in another thread looks much better

While investigating that, I noticed that one of my computers behaves strangely: transposing of lowercase chords doesn't work, chord localization 'Scandinavian' is not working. The other one works as expected. Both run MobileSheets 3.9.7 on a current Win10. The only difference that I'm aware of: on the faulty one I skipped several MobileSheets versions and updated directly from 3.8.xx to 3.9.7. 
Is it worth investigating that further? Or should I just try uninstalling and installing 3.9.7 from scratch?

That's incredibly strange... I do think uninstalling and reinstalling should hopefully fix it. Alternatively, you may need to just delete the default.xml settings file in the default storage location folder to reset the settings, as I'm wondering if that file is corrupted on that device.

I deleted default.xml. Now the MobileSheets Storage Location is lost and replaced by c:\Users\her\AppData\Local\Packages\41730Zubersoft.MobileSheets_ys1c8ct2g6ypr\LocalState\ - probably as expected.
I set it back to d:\HerbertsGoogleDrive\_MobileSheets\ as it was before and now MobileSheets shows a progress bar "Moving Files to New Location" which takes incredibly long - what's that? There should be nothing to move at all.

How about my main post, the strange chord positions?

It's something I'm going to have to look into.

MobileSheets always tries to move files when the storage location is changed. Unfortunately, it's problematic to reset the settings with a default storage location and then pick the new storage location. You can manually edit the default.xml file to specify the storage location and then pick the folder when prompted at startup to avoid this scenario.

As far as the chords, MobileSheets recognizes that you have two lines of chords back to back, so it doesn't try to position the chords in the first chord line relative to anything. However, it then reads the second line of chords and sees that there are lyrics below it. So it's trying to line up those chords with the lyrics on the next line. This logic is somewhat borrowed from text files. I guess can just remove this logic with chord pro files and force users to display their chords normally instead of allowing them to be positioned on a separate line. We will see if I get any complaints after making this change.
