Judy,
Your chart is confusing. Are you missing some bar-lines?
Did you mean to include both a chord symbol AND a bar-repeat symbol in a couple of measures?

It is in our Jazz playlist here, or you can download just that song (or any others singularly) from the Individual song listings.Quote:

And here is the verse, as published. Lyric starts with "the things I used to like...". See Nina Simone's version from the late 50s for a great example. It Might As Well Be Spring - Verse - Richard Rodgers
Frank Sinatra version (ballad):
It Might As Well Be Spring (Sinatra) - Richard Rodgers
It Might As Well Be Spring - Rodgers-Hammerstein
Another Reminder.Quote:

Here’s an edited version of the trumpet version above:

Thanks Judy.
I like rehearsal marks. They’re really helpful to me in understanding a chart’s organization at first glance.

Did I miss or include these...not sure...?Quote:

Since there are a limited number of spaces available for the song title (as well as other info fields) it’s best to include only enough “extra” stuff so when you have multiple versions of the song in your library you can easily tell them apart.Quote:

For your chart, I’d probably make the title It Might As Well Be Spring (w/coda)
If I were to post the chart to the main Forums, I would probably include a detailed description or explanation in the post to tell what I did and why in the post.

I’ve always thought the end of the third verse felt too “final,” so in this version I save that material for the very last ending of the song by turning it into a coda and I use the first verse’s ending for the other third verse endings.
It Might As Well Be Spring - w/Coda - Rodgers-Hammerstein
Bill Evans version:
It Might As Well Be Spring (Bill Evans) - Richard Rodgers
First recorded version by Dick Haymes (1945):
