Conflict of Slash Chord with D.C. Text on bottom line

[pdxdjazz]

While there is no way to directly resolve the dilemma of limited space under a measure for both necessary text instructions and slash-chords here are two ways you could try that would convey the required information to both the iRp player and the reader.

1. As you stated, the D.S. text could be raised to just above the chord. The player would still understand the instruction and the bass note would be visible. The raised DS text could be confusing to the reader especially if raised so high that it might be associated with the measure above.

2. Leave the text at the bottom overwriting the bass note. Using the alternate chord feature (small chords displayed above the staff), add just the obscured bass note using the invisible chord and the slash.

I would probably use the 1st option because I can read/understand it more easily, but that would depend on the specific chart.
