The "Squint and Pray": Reading Charts on a Dark Stage
· One min read
The stage is pitch black. Then the strobe lights hit. You look at your PDF. It's a tiny A4 page shrunk down to an iPad Mini screen. You can't tell if that's a Dm or a Bm. You squint. You guess. You play a D major. It was supposed to be B minor. The sound guy winces.
The Old Way: Pinching and zooming constantly. Or printing lyrics in font size 24 (which means one song is 5 pages long).
The Bandfix Way: Content Fit Mode and High Contrast.
- Reflow: Bandfix isn't a PDF reader. It's a dynamic chord chart. The text automatically resizes to fill your screen perfectly. No pinching. No zooming.
- High Contrast: White text on a pure black background. It cuts through the darkness (and the stage fog) without blinding you.
Pro Tip: Use "Big Mode" (text scaling) in settings if you stand far away from your tablet.
