Scrolling and ChordPro Files
#1
Hi,
I have been using MobileSheets for a long time, but just recently was introduced to the "chordpro" file format by a friend of mine and have been working on creating a setlist for my next gig using this more flexible format.  In the past I would create custom PDFs for each chart.

Anyway.  One limitation I seem to be running into is that I cannot crop off the bottom whitespace of the final page and so the song scrolls away into a mostly white screen.

I use infinite scrolling - basically I'm recreating the UltimateGuitar experience for myself but just with a much better and more reliable app - however after a song is imported into MobileSheets it decides where the "page breaks" should be, even though I do not use pages at all.  So on many songs I end up with a final page with lots of white space at the end.  I cannot seem to find a way to stop the autoscroll, nor can I crop off the bottom of those pages (they say "uncroppable" in MobileSheets).

Is there a way I can accomplish what I want?  It's hard enough to approximate the scroll speed as it is.   Even at the slowest speed, it is often too fast, so I am "scroll managing" and I need as much text to remain on screen as possible at the ends of songs.

At the moment, no, you can't have MobileSheets crop the bottom of the last page to remove whitespace. That would be a feature I would need to add, and it would only really make sense for the vertical scrolling display mode when using ChordPro or .abc files. I'm not opposed to supporting this though, as I can see the value in it. If you need an even slower scroll speed, you can tie it to the metronome tempo, and just use a really low tempo if you don't need the metronome.
