Good idea, Jer!
That works well. As long as we name each section as you did, it should be alright.
For longer heads, we might run out of space if we need to write the head again as the coda. But for short tunes, this is a great alternative.

Thanks, guys.
True.
But remember, if you don't have to write anything extra in the measures, they can be reduced to one or two beats each and will still play four beats. That can cut a tune to as little as one-fourth of its original length.
The program offers the option to write a tune with 96 measures of two beats each. You can reduce those to one beat each and write 192 measures. That's the equivalent of six 32-bar tunes written out.
Cheers,
Jer

Yes, I'm aware of this.
I often do this when possible for long tunes. But unfortunately, most of them often have 2, 3 chords in the same bar.
Yes, I have the same problem, as I like to write in bass note lines and passing chords.
Ah, well, longer charts are on the wish list thread.
Cheers,

As said before, label the head as Intro, then label solo choruses A or B, use D.S. to go back to head. use fine or coda with the D.S.
I've tried that. It doesn't work
The problem with this scheme is that at the end of the first solo section, the player goes back to the sign and doesn't repeat the solo section. Jerry's solution from June, 2016 is ingenious as it uses the normal counter to keep track of the number of times the chart has played. Below is a simple chart that illustrates how this works. I use the Swing Two/Four style to differentiate the sound of the head and solo sections.
