Adding More Bars

I just started using the program. I'm using it mainly on a MacBook Pro. I am creating a song from scratch and seem to have hit a 48-bar limit. I can't add new bars. The Support page says the limit is 96 bars. There doesn't seem to be a command to add bars. Any ideas? Thanks.

You will be best served by starting a new chart with one of the built-in templates.
Most often I use the 48 bar but for long songs that only have one or two chords per measure, I’ll choose 96 bars.
You make the choice when you are first filling out the chart’s info page.
(Title, composer, style, key, template)

Hello I'm inputting a song that is actually BABAB and I would like to be able to use the 32 bar AABA template. So my question is: using this template, can I copy the B section and paste it at the beginning on top of the first A section. So far I have been unable to get the cursor in front of...

For your current issue, I would continue on a 2nd page (new chart) title p1, title p2
After the song is charted, consider condensing your work by deleting spaces in the editor and after creating room on p1, copy/paste your condensed p2 on to p1. You only have 12 systems (lines) to use.

There are other shortcuts to save ink as well.
Repeating sections, DS or DC text instructions etc.
