FYI
Charts that have a 3/4 Time-sig work perfectly fine when the chart has 4-space measures.

Christmas Island - Lyle Moraine

Your chart would be more likely to play with the iRp player if you started with one of the built-in templates.

Star of Bethlehem - John Williams 1990

Little House in the Snow - Marisha Wallace-Toby Gad

An exquisite (released 2023) new Christmas song.

(I found 3 different versions of this, search for others)

Marisha now brings all the emotion and nostalgia to her new song which effortlessly highlights her powerful, soulful voice in a stripped back, emotional piano ballad.

Little House in the Snow - Marisha Wallace-Toby Gad

I used different time sigs because of how I heard the phrasing, but you could easily just use 3/4 (or 3/8) throughout (add barlines as necessary).

After playing some gigs with the "Holiday 100" set this holiday season, I've noticed how many songs in there have non-standard chord changes. I hesitate to call them "wrong," because they musically work, but they're not the common or original changes to many of these songs. I updated all of them with either the standard changes I've encountered over the years or the original changes for songs where you can point to a specific, original, iconic recording. I also added all of the Vince Guaraldi "Charlie Brown Christmas" songs plus the "Grinch" song. Lastly, I removed the "jazz" versions of the songs as they seemed claustrophobically reharmed, especially since many of the original changes are quite suitable for jazz as-is without needing to throw in the everything and kitchen sink.
