I'm not against program reports which are optional for use but I must facetiously ask if you are in the lumber and/or paper business. Using 1 line per person my descendant report is about 150 pages long. Your request is to have a program which expands that to 3 lines per person PLUS a line of white space after each line. That's 6 times the length of my current report or 900 pages. If you show birth, marriage, death and burial, as I do, it becomes 1200 pages. Obviously I would not use such a report but I'm curious about your perceived benefit.
An alternate suggestion, and one which is possible with some genealogy programs, would be the ability to design a custom report. It would be an editable sheet with drag and drop for any of the facts, i. e., birth place, birth date, marriage place, marriage date, death place, death date, burial place, etc. Using another program I have constructed such a report for use when walking cemeteries - it lists all people for whom I do not have a burial place and only those people. It can even be ported to a word processor to list in columns to further conserve paper and bulk. I have designed other single purpose reports but that is the most useful. Even the above would not enable a tailor-made report for each individual idiosyncrasy but it would come close if properly designed.
