edit song problem

Have got it sorted and can get a tabb on by switching of "Toggle editor" but if it needs to be corrected/edited, when corrected the tabb comes back in a jumbled mess and one has to start again, any help here to save my exasperation levels.

If you give me the tab which you are talking about I can tweak the code to possible fix the formatting issues. The problem is for security I am filtering out a ton of stuff.

The Tabb I put on and was readable, but I noticed I had made a minor mistake so did an edit, it was after the edit that the tabb reverted to a messed up jumble at that point I removed the whole tabb. I will re-enter it later and be more carefull, thanks for your offer.

Once it is up let me know so I can fix it. Someone else had the same problem but they didn't give me the original file to work with.

Below is from another post of mine. I use Word first as that is where I save all my tabs that I do, you can just use Notebook if you want to save a few steps. If you need to edit one of your tabs change it in Notebook and then clear out your one in the edit page and copy and paste your new one from Notebook.


Maybe you can try this, it works for me, (my problem was that I always got double spacing between my lines), Using Microsoft Word set margins at 0" left and 4.25" right,(I have a file saved with those settings so I don't have to set it up each time) set font to courier new and size to 12. I usually just copy and paste lyrics into Word (in which case I hightlight the lyrics and click clear formatting and then set the font and size), but if typing in the lyrics when I get to the end of a line I hit "enter" and do not let it automatically drop down to next line. After adding the numbers above the lines of text I then copy and paste that into Notepad, which is in the accessories menu. From there I copy that and paste into the add a tab box, highlight the entire tab, then I click on clear formatting, then I set the font to courier new and the size to 3(12pt) and then I click "save song" and my tabs come out looking correct. It is extra work but as long as it works at least I can keep posting tabs. Hopefully this helps you also.

Yesterday, (I think) I went to an old song of mine Lily Of the West to change the label to chrom, I was able to change the heading but nothing in the actual body of the song. I went back just now to find the song itself had disappeared. All the rest is there but no song. Houston I think we have a problem!!

I am looking into it now... I don't know what would have happened though.

I made a change which I think might fix it, I am testing it out now.

The song is gone. I can restore it from backup if you can tell me when it was last there and intact.
