Back in February of 2013, I requested a new style for ballads that played the interior choruses in double-time. You came through with the Jazz - Ballad Double Time Feel style and thank you very much for that. I would now request an enhancement to this style: the ability to designate a section (perhaps section D) in the form that is also played in double-time during the first and last choruses.

I have a reason for making this request. There are tunes in which the chord changes for improvised solo choruses are different from the changes that best fit the melody. In the case of a ballad, where one would like to use these different solo changes and play them in double-time, presently there is no way to program a chord chart to accomplish this. However, by judicious editing, one could fit changes for a the melody chorus and for the solo chorus on one page; if one could designate the solo chorus as section D, then the enhanced style could play the melody chorus at regular time and the solo chorus in double-time. Using a text designation (eg, 3x, 4x, etc) and repeat signs, the solo chorus could be programmed to repeat a set number of times and then return to the melody chorus to end the tune.

I'm currently working on such a chord chart that I'll submit to the forum for comments. The solo chorus presently won't play in double-time but will have different changes from the melody section.

Thanks for considering this suggestion. It may seem like an odd request, but the development team seems capable of almost anything!
