    johand,

    Your chart is incomplete. Here's a new chart. It needs some explanation.

    The tune structure is rhythmically complex, and iReal Pro doesn't have a direct way to deal with it, so I've used a couple of work-arounds.

    I've put the time in Swing Two/Four. The timing built into that mode is that on the head the In (Intro) and the A section are played in 2/4, and the B and later sections are played in 4/4. After the head, the whole tune is in 4/4 until the last head, when the In and A revert to 2/4.

    Since we only want the Solo section to repeat, I've designated the Head as In (Intro), which doesn't repeat. As I want the second part of the Head to swing in 4/4, I've written in the walking bass, otherwise it would still sound like 2/4.

    The Solos section is written as a B section so that it will play in 4/4. If it were an A section, it would play the first time in 2/4.

    Finally, after the number of specified Solos are played, the Coda goes to a shortened Intro, then jumps up to the beginning of the Head and goes to the end.

    There's no way in iReal Pro to accurately notate the Ostinato Intro and first part of the Head. The chords labelled D1 etc. force iReal Pro to play just the bass note. Ignore the error message that pops up. You can't notate half beats in iReal Pro, so the beats are on 1 and 3 instead of 1 and 2-1/2.

    Finally, the ending is more abrupt than the recording, because there was no way to tack on the ending of the latter.
