In order for me to assure consistent scrolling for songs I've learned a method for inputting song files. (I hope this isn't redundant and obvious so go easy on me.)
When creating a txt song document:
I grab the file of my liking from ultimate guitar and enter all the chords where I feel they should be.
I then delete the previous lines that had only the chords in them.
The next step that's very important is that I listen to the song and count of the bars in my head and break the text lines according to the bars.
Depending on how "wordy" a song is, I 'll break the lines per bar or half bar.
This assures each line is the same beat length so when the song scrolls it remains consistent.
*Note:The {duration 00:00} function associates each line length to be the same then spreads that across the entire duration you've entered at the top of the file.
If you break lines inconsistently in relation to time, the duration will not be correct throughout the song, although it may be correct overall...if that makes sense.
The last thing I do is adjust the {textsize:XX} to maximize visibility once my line breaks are complete.
If you do this you will greatly reduce the amount of airturn pedal presses you need to complete during the song in order to stay on track.
Let me know if this helps!
