I've been using Asaph for single page worship charts for a year now, and now I'm using it to quickly learn songs for a cover band I'm working with. I like how it reduces the size of the chart to fit one page.
For two page charts, I still use my trusty MS Word template because I have a specific header denoting that it belongs to the specific song in the specific key at the top of the second page. I also have a prominant note that it's a two pager at the bottom of the first page -- no surprises in the middle of a set.
I found it pretty easy to make my first Asaph chart, and quite easy to get a close representation of the form, fonts, sizes, and spacings I've developed over the years. Every other chart has been a breeze.
A couple of picky things: The only thing I haven't figured out is the "Position On Each Page" dialogue when printing, and you must use your mouse instead of Enter to finish the printing sequence. I haven't noticed a difference with different settings.
I'd like some keyboard shortcuts to toggle between the Viewer and the Editor, and to print.
My personal preference would be to have the Title and Key section centred at the top instead of Left Justified.
Spell checking would be really nice as well, but might not work because of how Asaph "sees" strings of characters. It would also be a leap in terms of development.
The Print command is in a funny place (at least for Mac Users).
All that said, I love this software and use it all the time, both in and out of church work.
