Printing
This application is optimized for displaying on a tablet's screen.
So printing has not been given much attention.
However, most browsers have a print function and we recognize that
there are times when a printout of the song is desired.
Most browser's print function simply print what is displayed on the screen.
This results in a white-on-black printout. It works, but uses a lot of ink.
So, these selections allow you to setup the display for printing,
and when you [Toggle] "Display printable page" to "YES", the display will
convert to black on white. Then you can use the browser's print functions to
print a usable page.
Because the display is converted to a different format, these buttons are
one-time use only. Once the display is converted to black-on-white,
the other functions/buttons are unavailable.
To get back to normal operation, you must refresh the browser.
Setting Up For Printing
By default, the print setup includes the Chords, Music, and Lyrics sections.
You may not want to include all three sections in your printout.
If you don't want to display the Chords, [Toggle] to "NO".
If you don't want to display the Music, [Toggle] to "NO".
If you don't want to display the Lyrics, [Toggle] to "NO".
Finally, after making the three selections above,
Display the printable page by [Toggle] to "YES".
