Making a new chart
Unless it’s a lengthy chart, I find it easiest to start with the built-in 48 bar template. (4, 4space bars across each system, top to bottom)
First, I fill out the info (i) screen -- title, composer, suggested chart-style and key
Then I add a left-double-bar, time-sig, and rehearsal-mark (IN, V, or letter) in the first space. Press "save". I like to press "save" frequently as I go because I am often switching between a reference chart and the one I'm editing. If the app should inconveniently decide to re-start, by "saving" as I go, I can pick-up where I left off instead of starting over.
Next I fill in the chords, adding endings, repeats, S/N, symbols, text, changing bar lines as neccessary and finally deleting unused bar lines and adjusting space to position 2nd endings directly below 1st endings as I go.
If sequences are repeated later in the chart, I'll highlight, copy, paste to save time and then make corrections to the pasted section as required. Lastly, highlight/cut any remaining unused bars at the bottom of the chart
Save the chart: save/done
The final step is set the preferred player style, tempo and then play the chart to be sure it works/sounds like I want/expect.
Using the blank 48 bar template, you can easily put anything anywhere. It goes pretty quickly after you've made a few charts.
