All My Loving - John Lennon-Paul McCartney

[boscotom]

dflat and others:
Here's "All My Loving" in a similar style that you recommended "Nowhere Man."
All My Loving by Lennon-McCartney

As with dflats suggestion on "Nowhere Man" basically it lays out the sections and then directs the musician how to order the sections.

I saved a little space by putting repeats in B and the Coda.

One possible visual problem is that song has essentially four chord sequences, so the directions on how to order them gets pushed really far to the bottom on the iPhone.

Another thought is that if this kind of style works, it might be worthwhile to add a sequence "legend" (like a map "legend") tool to the irb editor with a standard, compact, conspicuous style that would always be in the same place on the chart page (probably immediately below last chord sequence, left margin?). I attached an example. I don't really like it, and it would be worth talking to someone who's good with type/graphic design, but I wanted to give you an idea of what might work.

I'm not sure, but I wonder if a lot of pop songs could be condensed and clarified for iReal Book-assisted gigs with this kind of style and a good legend. I'm betting lots of the Beatles stuff works well with this approach.
