You got that right. The limitations of iReal Pro make using it for complex song forms a whole programming language. One can't just input directly from sheet music and get the repeats, signs, and codas right.

Thanks for the suggestion, Bob. The only problem with that solution is that on the last pass it doesn't play the whole form, but jumps right from the first A section to the coda. This solution seems to work: Servant, The 3 - Jerry Engelbach Cheers, Jer

This is incidental music I wrote for a 1975 production of Robin Maugham's play The Servant, for the Classic Stage Company in New York. A lead sheet can be found here. Servant, The - Jerry Engelbach Cheers, Jer

Very sensible. Thanks, Bob.

Beautiful tune from the 1946 opera Street Scene, music by Kurt Weill, lyrics by Langston Hughes, book by Elmer Rice. The original opera version, and a jazz version. A lead sheet for the tune is in Hal Leonard's Ultimate Broadway Fake Book. Some of the changes therein differ from those of the...

Quiet Night is a lesser-known tune from the 1936 show On Your Toes — although Streisand recorded a very slow version of it. Here is a 1936 recording of it. My chart uses a lot of reharms. It's available on sheet music, and you can find a lead sheet for it in The Ultimate Broadway Fake Book by...

Bob, Yes, I searched, too, to see if Hawkins recorded the Porter tune, thinking perhaps I might have been wrong. But the only 1947 recording of his I could find was the Archer-Thompson song. Cheers, Jer

This is my reharm of a popular standard from the show On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, by Alan Jay Lerner and Burton Lane. Lead sheets for the tune can be found in the following Hal Leonard publications: The Ultimate Fake Book The Big Book of Torch Songs The Real Book, Vol 3 The Real Vocal...

Well, although my response is three years late, this may be the reason Richard received no response. There is more than one song called I Love You. The one recorded by Coleman Hawkins in 1947 was the one by Harry Archer and Harlan Thompson, not the one by Cole Porter...

Douge, Glad you found them.

You can find the chords on line in several places. The best, I think, is Chordify. Cheers, Jer

Yes, that's definitely a bug.

I don't disagree. But in this case the Time Out tune book appears to have been based on transcriptions of the complete arrangements and solos.

Yes. Mine are from the published sheet music.

Mikerobby, May I respectfully point out that Oreja de Van Goh is a pop band, not jazz. There is a separate section for Pop, Rock, and Blues. Cheers, Jer

These are the changes from the sheet music, in the key Ella sings it in, Bb. They're very vanilla and could use some jazzing up. I Am in Love - Cole Porter Cheers, Jer

Great Tune. Thanks much for the chart. For those interested, the tune is in the Sher New Real Book III. Cheers, Jer

Bob, We have to stop meeting like this ...

I've worked on this tune a bit, and here's my updated version of it. Love Is Only Love-Rev JE 2 - Jerry Herman Cheers, Jer
