I've had this occasionally, usually caused by the format of the document. I am wondering what ap you are using to view your lyrics sheets? I use a Samsung Galxy 9.8 inch tablet and an ap called Songbook. I think it was around $7.00 from the google playstore. For me it works flawlessly. It links to dropbox so changes and new sheets are not a problem. Formatting makes a difference. Songbook will read chrodpro, pdf, plain text files, and some others that I can't recall. Different special characters tell the program what to do and can effect spacing or what you see on the screen. For me, I found the easiest and most efficent file type was plain text. I have had no problems with that type of file as long as I am aware of what special charcters do. In my experience, chordpro sheets downloaded from the internet are inherently buggy. I cut and paste them to a plain text editor and edit as necessary. No problems with spacing or how the song displays using this method. There are a variety of other features in Songbook, such as auto scrolling transpose, sharing on the same network, and set lists, which work quite well. If you are not using a dedicated app to view your songs, Song book may be what you need. There is another ap called Onsong that is quite popular. The three people that I work with regularly that use this program are constantly having problems with it, and it is 3 times the price. Not a slam for Onsong, just an observation. Hope this helps.
