Auto-SIze Font
#1
As soon as chord grids and lyrics are involved, Auto-Size Fonts produces strange results, depending on the device.

Currently Auto-Size Font for normal ChordPro files (containing lyrics & chords) calculates a font size so that the longest line fits on the width of the page.
The calculated size is applied to Meta Size , Lyric Size , Chord Size , Tab Size and Chorus Size. Title Size is a bit bigger.

Expected behaviour:
Font size for grids should be independent from the size above. 
The calculated Grid Size value should produce a grid that uses the full width of the page so that grid sections and lyrics & chord sections have more or less the same width.
The Grid Size that is calculated in V 3.9.7 is slightly too small.

Additional feature request:
Subtitles should have their own independent font size (instead of being part of "Meta" as it is today).

It would be great if a fix could be part of one of the next MobileSheets versions. I'm working currently on a series of about 200 ChordPro files like the example shown in this post. I'd really appreciate if a batch import of these files (where Auto-Size Font is applied to all of them) would produce nice looking songs. Otherwise I had to fiddle around with each and every song to fix the font sizes.
Thanks in advance.

Is your request not somewhat in conflict with what you suggested here?: https://www.zubersoft.com/mobilesheets/f...l#pid51842

My plan was to change chord grids to just always use the entire page to split up the cell widths irregardless of what the font size is, as you requested. Now you are suggesting that the auto-size should change the grid size which should force the grid to fill the page. Wouldn't this be unnecessary once I implement your request to just use the full page width always? What font size do I even use then for the grid? Just the default? Perhaps I'm not understanding your request correctly.

Thanks,
Mike
