Tanga - Paquito D'Rivera

[pdxdjazz]

Thanks a lot Bob, for your suggestion and for your patience

I guess that the last revision that I made should work as well.. ? or is it not correct / conventional?
I agree that your version is more readable..


cheers and happy new year!

iReal was developed in single-page format so a musician could have basic, instantly transposable charts for thousands of jazz tunes in their pocket on an iPhone. Later, the player feature was added for practicing.

Now many are using the (excellent) player as gig-tracks. It's often quite a challenge to >squeeze< a complex arrangement or very long piece onto the single page.

Musicians still using the app on their phone as originally designed may have trouble reading tiny, over-crowded arrangements.
Then the iPad came along making it easier for some.

There's often a conflict between having a readable chart for the musician and a chart designed to be detailed instructions for the player-feature.

When playing an AABA tune (in an ensemble) sometimes the 3rd A is (accidentally) thought by someone to be the 1st A.
Ah, live music...
Your chart might reduce confusion because the whole form is written out.
I tend to prefer simple/readable "phone-compatible" charts.
Options are good to have.
