How can I compress a chart, so it has six measures per line instead of four?

Lotsa ways.

But you didn't answer the question of "how". You just uploaded an example.


I'm starting to think that spaces<>beats, but I'm not sure how the player parses measures that have had spaces added or removed.

If you have a bar-line on both sides of one space, it = ONE measure (but can contain only one chord)

You’ll need to experiment to see how the player handles chord placement within multi-space bars.

When possible, I prefer 4-space measures, 4 across each system (line) for everything. This is provided by the 48 bar template.

It handles 3/4 just fine.
The player won’t work with some time-sig/bar-spaces combinations. The player will provide an error message.

For me, charts with multiple, random bar lengths are harder to follow.

I try to keep my charts as “square” as possible with the sections (rehearsal marks) all starting at the left margin.
