How do I best view tabs from pages like ultimate guitar and others on a phone browser, so that the chords and lyrics match up? I know on pc they usually show up fine in notepad or with ASCII fixed sys font, but I can’t quite figure out how to set it up for easy browsing on an android phone. I tried copying it to other apps but none of them have a fixed width font.

How do you do it?

    I would copy the text to a .txt file (maybe edit it to make the width more mobile friendly) and on phone open it with some basic text editor.

    I use MiXplorer (the free version from XDA) as a default file manager and find it’s Text editor quite good. Other good options may be Markor (since it has edit and view modes, but make sure to turn off text wrapping) or other editors. Code editor like Acode would be an overkill for this.

    Last but not least, you can also screenshot the tab or copy it to some word processor, set font to monospace and export as .pdf (maybe with custom document size if more convenient)
