Thanks Judy.
I like rehearsal marks. They’re really helpful to me in understanding a chart’s organization at first glance.

Hi Bob, I’m struggling as it is just tring to import export, but I will keep trying to get things straight with the etiquette. I am guessing I need to not alter the title, but can I add specifics to the title?

Since there are a limited number of spaces available for the song title (as well as other info fields) it’s best to include only enough “extra” stuff so when you have multiple versions of the song in your library you can easily tell them apart.

If I’ve written a version for a specific singer, I’ll append their initials to the title.
Likewise, for specific band arrangements I’ll add a “code” for that band so I’ll know.

For your chart, I’d probably make the title It Might As Well Be Spring (w/coda)

If I were to post the chart to the main Forums, I would probably include a detailed description or explanation in the post to tell what I did and why in the post.

I’ve always thought the end of the third verse felt too “final,” so in this version I save that material for the very last ending of the song by turning it into a coda and I use the first verse’s ending for the other third verse endings.
