Project Settings - HTML Layout
This editor provides general layout settings for the HTML web content that is generated from your project. You can find this editor in the "Render" menu and selecting "Design Basic Website Layout", or through the "Project" menu and selecting "HTML Settings".
The following example web page shows how this editor works:
Table of Contents
You can have the table of contents displayed down the left-hand side of each page as shown in the above example. This list will appear on every generated page.
The next option is to have it printed along the top of each page, which gives more horizontal room to work with. Or, you can just select to never show the table of contents.
Each group that appears in your project will generate a new item in the list as shown above.
H-Alignment and V-Alignment
These table cell settings allow you to specify the positioning of chords and scales in their grid cells when laid out on the page. H-alignment refers to the left-right horizontal positioning, where V-alignment refers to the top-bottom vertical position.
Number of Columns
Note that chords are rendered into a different grid than scales. This means you can specify a different column size for each. Typically chord images are smaller than scales, so in the example above we have chords arranged in a grid with 3 columns. On the other hand, scales are just stacked one on top of the other with just 1 column.
Create MIDI Files
If you select this option, the rendering process will also generate a MIDI audio file for each chord and scale. You can customize the way this will sound by opening the MIDI settings editor. When the web pages are created, the viewer can click on any image and the browser will launch its audio player to sound the MIDI file.
Render to Single Web Page
This option simplifies the web content by flattening all of the groups into a single web page, instead of building one page for each separate group. The page will be vertically quite long if the project has many items in it, and will not have a table of contents generated.
