My version of this great tune. It doesn't break any ground harmonically, but it's rhythmically interesting, in Swing Two/Four time.

Spring Can Really Revised - Tommy Wolf
Jerry, thanks for this! I love what you did here. It was one of my favorite ballads, but I like your treatment even better.
I generally try to avoid using global repeats in iReal Pro except on practice charts. On performance charts, I like to see the whole arrangement in front of me. Just a personal preference of mine.
So, I rewrote your chart using internal repeats, but keeping your full arrangement. I also isolated those lone bass notes of yours, just guessing that you intended that they not be necessarily tied to a chord being played simultaneously. (The only drawback is that an initial error message appears, but that disappears when you just tap OK.) And I added an intro taken from your first A section.

If I had your ear and experience, I'd try this with other ballads. Thanks, again, this is really fun to play.
(Massimo, you are a bass-programming genius.)

Thanks much.Quote:

the player doesn't "get" the W./x chords (with the dot), but will play Jack's chart now. (Solved the ending issue)

Yes, it plays now that you've cleaned up the endings.Quote:

Jack, are those dots an accident?

The player gets upset when there is more than one D.S. instruction.
:))BOB
Yes, Bob, it's much cleaner now. I don't know why I thought I had to use that strange work around; it's clearly not needed.
Jerry, maybe on your equipment the added dot doesn't do anything, I dunno. But on my iPhone 5 it allows your lone bass notes (like "/Bb") to sound by themselves on Playback. Otherwise--on my iPhone, at least--I always get a crash of the most-recent chord along with the bass note. Just depends on whether you want to hear that bass note alone. The dot lets that happen. (I don't remember who of us discovered that dot feature; it wasn't me.) You do have to put up with the initial error message at the top, but that's easily dispensed with by tapping "OK" during the countdown.
What I'd really love to see is the ability to select and play bass notes separately along two or even three octaves, say by entering /E1 to /E4 or even /B0 to /G4, without having to use the dot and get that error message.
Wouldn't iRP's bass players love that, Massimo? I'll never play bass as well as your algorithm does, I don't mean that I ever could, but it sure would be great to have that bass flexibility.
Jack
Jerry, I just discovered your 90 Revised Standards Playlist you posted in Sandbox.
Wow.
Thank you.
Jack
Oh, I get it now.Quote:

Thanks for clarifying the dot, guys.

Thanks, Jack.Quote:

And since I hope people are focussing on my piano playing rather than on the backing tracks, the iReal Pro tracks work just fine for me.
I'll keep updating the Playlist as I add more tunes, going through Sandbox to transfer the Playlist from my laptop to my iPod.

And here's my version (with some colorful chord voicings). One might take issue with the first bar of the [C] section, but I've found this progression to be very helpful to singers who have trouble recovering from the Bridge.
Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most (C) - Tommy Wolf-Fran Landesman
Thank you, Jack.
Is "90" how many for which I have "Rev JE" after the name? I never counted them.
Cheers,
Jer
Dale,
Good chart.
I think 7 bars before the end you meant not E9 but E7b9, as the melody is on F natural.
Cheers,
Jer
Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most (C)2 - Tommy Wolf-Fran Landesman
This is simplified from Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most (C). The assumption is that, at most, only root, 3rd, and 7th of each chord get played. That keeps us from interfering with all the demolished 5ths, 9ths, etc etc.

And I would like to add another possibility for that. I have switched it over to 6/8. Actually really enjoy it there it gives it a little job that it’s always seemed lacking to me. Unfortunately IRP does not handle 6/8 very elegantly so you have to use your imagination a bit, but the feeling is there. Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most 1 - Tommy Wolf
See if 3/2 feels more to your liking:Quote:

That works perfectly, Bob.
However, iReal Pro doesn't treat 3/2 as 3/2, with three beats to the bar. It treats it as 6/4, with two groups of three beats each to the bar, which is why it works in your version.
So for notation, it's more accurate to use 6/4.
Cheers,
Jer
Thanks Jer.Quote:

6/4 certainly makes more sense with what's actually happening.
6/4-3/2 comparison:

happy new year

Of course. I forgot that it's easy to mix time signatures for a side-by-side comparison.
Yep. Exactly the same.
Strange that the developers didn't catch the error in the 3/2 time.
Feliz año a ti también.
Saludos,
Jer
While playing around with the time-sig's, I tried 12/8 for the first line of the B section.
An interesting rhythmic twist...
:))BOB
It's a little too fast to get the feeling of four triplets. It just sounds like a variant of 4/4 to me.
Cheers,
Jer

SPRING CAN REALLY HANG YOU UP THE MOST had some issues; I couldn't play through it with the sheet music I had (557 Standards in C), so I decided to transcribe their version. It sounds fine now, but you be the judge:
Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most - GH3K - Tommy Wolf
SPRING CAN REALLY HANG YOU UP THE MOST -- Submitted for your approval, the Sher Music version. I think this chart makes more sense than the previous one I shared (just down this thread a bit).
