The ever elusive desk space
I use GuitarPro a lot. Because I'm not a musician often I will take a PDF of a tab that I have purchased or just found from dumb luck and put it into GuitarPro so I have the play along feature. I'll slow it down and make my own subtle changes to put my own spin on a tune sometimes.
Many songs that I like are very long by my standards (6+ pages). I have just started taking the tunes I like and making shorter versions of them. GuitarPro (or any tab software for that matter) is perfect for this. The perfect page length of a tune for me is three pages because it will fit on my desk and I will still have room for my mousepad, and the all important cup of coffee.  As I was looking at the settings of one song I just reduced down to 4 pages I discovered a setting in the "StyleSheet" option dialog that allows me to reduce the proportions of the tab when printed. Bingo. I dropped it from a setting of 6 to 5. This took the song down to 3 pages and when printed I can still read it easily (although it is a touch smaller). This stylesheet setting reduced the space between measures as well as the printed font. I'm one of the unfortunate dummies that have a hard time memorizing full songs until I play them for a few years,  .
