Swithed to Four Lines

Man I like being able to save these projects!!

I took my Pocahantas project and changed it from six to four lines. (I had figured that the young girl who wants to sing for our church talent show might read a six line more easily then something else that changed more often)

No chopping.

Since Jaddams has created some songs with no problem, it seems apparent that the occurence is not 100% predictable but here is my Hypothesis for now:

Given these and maybe other settings with a six line text,
If all the other lines have switched over while the sixth line is still playing, the chopping occurs.
I looked at my chops and that element was present.

Another thing I noticed.

The third line (of six) almost routinely was chopping but well after sweeping. This did not occur when I switched to 4 lines.

I don't know what will be easier on the eyes, a four line page where the lines are spaced out or a six line page where the pages change less often.

But for now I'm going with four. I'll probably change my tune when the song gets faster. (No pun intended!!)

Thanks for your input guys.
