Thanks! Made it better, as always.

I've used his arrangement on this youTube performance. He arranges it differently sometimes, but that's what I chose. He plays it in A capo-ed up three frets, so it's actually in C but this chart is in A. If anybody has any improvements on these chords, I'm open to them. In particular...

Lots of versions of this, with the I chord at the end of the A section being played different durations. I've notated it like the Flecktones version, first time through. Big Country - Bela Fleck

Thanks for the help / advice. There are many versions of this tune, and the chords on this chart are the way we play it, as taught by John Mailander. I've modified, as per your suggestions. Grey Owl - Trad.

Salt Spring - John Reischman I don't think it's trad., I think Reischman wrote it. Salt Spring - John Reischman

I've called it key of D. It's actually D mixolydian, I guess Nowthen - Matt Flinner

Here's a chart for Grey Owl, a Canadian fiddle tune. It contains a "crooked" measure of 2/4, and I'm not sure how to lay it out. I've attached two attempts, but I don't like either. Any suggestions? Grey Owl - Unknown Composer Grey Owl 1 - Unknown Composer

Is there a way to do custom marks, like A1 and A2, or to go beyond mark D? Also, is there a way to define a chorus, that can be repeated at different times without copying the whole thing?

Is there a way to specify a chord with no 3rd? In rock / pop, they'd call it a power chord, in bluegrass a modal chord. For example, in something like Clinch Mountain Backstep or Reuben, the I chord is modal, neither major nor minor, though the melody plays a m3 against it.

Thanks for the advice. I've updated the chart in my original post. I think it's good now. Appalachian Rain 2 - Ben Eldridge (Seldom Scene)

Thanks, pdx. How did you get the space at the end of the second staff in the Intro? I couldn't figure out how to do that. That's why I made the measures in the intro so wide. Point taken re showing the repeated chord at the beginning of each staff. Your form is wrong. What you have labeled...

On Seldom Scene's Old Train album. The intro / coda is 6 bars. I widened them to make the rest of the 8 bar sections line up correctly, but it looks kind of ugly. Is there a better way to make the line break after the intro, and just leave some space at the end of a line? Appalachian Rain -...

I have an Aspen 1320, which I think is the same tablet as the Titon sold under a different label. That tablet was sold with a bunch of different labels. I use it with Mobile Sheets Pro, not iRealPro, because the band I use it with is all pdf charts. In general it's a very good music reader...

Form is AABA, which I did with DC al Fine. If there's a better way, I'm open to change. New Camptown Races - Frank Wakefield

Form is AAB. Ookpik Waltz - Frankie Rogers (Edited 5/29/2018 to fix key signature and center the repeat signs)
