If by now, the text is still on one page, that’s great news!

Start increasing the font size until the text overflows to the second page.

This can happen for two reasons:

  • Because some lines were too wide and got automatically split in two—the most likely scenario
  • Or because the text grew so big that it can’t fit one one page anymore

If some lines got split in two

  1. Slightly reduce the font size until these lines are back on one line.

  2. Check if you can shift the name tags and the chords that are aligned with the right boundary of page a little to the left.

  3. Then increase the font size again and repeat this step until the name tags and the chords can’t be shifted further to the left.

At this point, if some lines are still aligned with the right boundary, it’s definitely worth restarting the whole process from the top with fresh eyes and see if you end up here again.

If that’s indeed not the first time you end up here, it probably means you reached the MPO 🌟

If the text grew so big that it can’t fit on one page

Nice, you’re getting really close to the MPO 🌟

Let’s make your one-pager an actual one-pager again!

Nicely align the name tags and the chords on the right

Start by aligning all the name tags and the chords that are on the right with the boundary of the page

Put the text back on one page

  1. Try to squeeze the text back on the first page by reducing the vertical spacing (e.g. by pressing Shift+Ctrl+Page Up). Make sure not to reduce it below 97% though!

  2. If it didn’t work, set the vertical spacing back to 100%—it should overflow to the second page again.

  3. Now, start reducing the font size. Don’t stop until you can shift all the name tags and the chords that are aligned on the right one more space to the right.
