[Lauraine Graham- with the Lord]

I am so glad that someone else also forgets to read the manual. I have to admit that I have not read it since I bought the program quite some time ago. Being a bit of a dunce when it comes to understanding technical stuff I tend not to give my self-esteem a possible slap in the face and try and sort the problem out myself. Sometimes this results in an original way of dealing with a problem, although usually it means that I have taken hours and hours to sort a problem that would have been dealt with in minutes if I had bothered to read the manual.

However, and forgive me if you have already worked this one out, recently I have been CDGing some songs with really fast-moving lyrics and having the problem that the refresh rate cannot keep up with the track. Because I don't see very well I tend to have the font set to a large size (Arial 24 or 22). This, of course, reduces the number of words on the line, and necessarily increases the number of pages. So many line and page commands to execute and not enough time to comply. I have found that by reducing the font size to 16 or 18 I can increase the word capacity per line to twice what it was and, hey presto, problem solved!! My other problem of not seeing to well is solved by standing a bit closer to the monitor.

Being a user of this program for some time has made me a bit cocky, I think, and this recent experience has taught me a lesson. I hope this helps more recent users of this fine program to get better results. KHPro is still the unrivalled leader and all of the commercial producers of CDG songs could take a few pointers to their advantage, if they weren't so cocky themselves.

Best wishes
