 [taxpro](https://profiles.wordpress.org/taxpro/) January 16, 2022

This plugin allows just one page straight down. Instead, I want to have two columns,
Half song on the left, and the rest of the song on the right. How can I do that 
two columns? please help, is there any coding? please I need it. Thank you.

I was looking for it and I found it. Congratulations to the developers. They deserve
more than five stars. Please do not abandon the plugin. And if you can add the option
to print a page. Perhaps this is what is missing for this plugin to be the most 
complete.
