Spit It Out, Fam

The Output Options tab is basically where you tell this thing what to actually spit out on your paper. Thrilling, we know.

Here\u{2019}s where you decide how many songs get the printout treatment. Got a set locked & loaded in OnSong? Boom—it\u{2019}s auto-selected to get printed. Grabbed just one lonely song from your library? Yep, just that one\u{2019}s gettin\u{2019} the ink treatment. Or go full nuclear & print an entire bleepin\u{2019} book. Your paper supply, your funeral.

  • Song shows off your current song title. Pick it & it\u{2019}ll either 1) crank out that chord chart or 2) chuck the single song into your song list (which, srsly, why tho?). This one\u{2019}s the default when you\u{2019}re feelin\u{2019} chord charts & you picked just one song.
  • Set flexes the current set title. Select it & BAM—every song in that set gets output. Printin\u{2019} a song list? Those set songs show up in the list in the exact order they\u{2019}re sittin\u{2019} in the set. This auto-picks when you\u{2019}re starin\u{2019} at a set in OnSong.
  • Book goes full scorched earth & outputs literally every song in the whole book. This one\u{2019}s the default if you\u{2019}re printin\u{2019} a song list & only have one sad little song selected. Pick this for chord charts tho & you\u{2019}ll get yelled at by an alert, since your printer might literally catch fire generatin\u{2019} a bajillion chord charts.

Output Options (aka "Tweak Your Printout \u{2018}Til Your Brain Hurts")

This menu section lets you flip a couple switches that mess with how chord charts print.

  • Lyrics only nukes the chords right outta your printout. Perfect for wannabe sing-a-longs or if your vocalist can\u{2019}t read chord symbols (no judgment).
  • Original key strips away whatever transposition you jammed on there, showin\u{2019} the key the song actually came in.
  • Remove capo ditches any capo you slapped on the song so it stops meddlin\u{2019} with your key situation.
  • Song flow tells the printer whether to care about your flow tags. Flip it on & the song prints in the fancy arrangement you marked up with flow stuff.

Extras (aka "Deck Out Your Page Like It\u{2019}s Prom")

This menu section lets you toggle random stuff on & off for what lands on your actual page. What shows up here changes dependin\u{2019} on whether you\u{2019}re spittin\u{2019} out chord charts or a song list.
