    Thanks, sdgallday.

    Most of the chart is excellent.

    However, I would take a look at a couple of those chords.

    The G7b9 in line 4 is against a Bb in the melody. Should it be Gm7 or a G7#9 rather than G7b9?

    The Am7 in line 6 is against an F in the melody. Should it be an F chord?

    The Dm9 at the end of line 7 turns around back to the Gm7 at the beginning of the B Section, but it doesn't lead to the following Fm9 in the C Section. Perhaps first and second endings are called for there, one with the Dm7 and the other without it?

    At the end of the second ending of the A Section, the F6 and Am7 would be more readable if you reduced them using the "S" command. Follow this in the next measure with the "N" command to restore the size of all the following chords.

    Two more things: iReal Pro cannot end a tune in mid-measure. And putting in "Fine" is just a visual cue that doesn't actually stop a tune. You have to use the "End" command.

    The tune won't stop in mid-measure anyway. It stops on the first beat of any measure with an "End" command in it. If you don't care what it looks like, there's a simple workaround. Divide that measure into two measures, making each one 2/4, so that the start of the second measure is F6. Then, be sure to restore the time to 4/4 at the beginning of the B Section.

    Finally, you have the tune in Bossa Nova rhythm, but the caption at the top says "Medium Up Swing."

    Cheers,
    Jer
