The colleague will need a copy of 3 things:

1. The .MGU (or whatever you're using) of the tune
2. A .PDF (or jpg or something) of the leadsheet
3. The .STY file of any custom style he doesn't have.

These files are very small and easily emailed. You may omit the leadsheet, because your colleague can print his own. But it may look different from yours, so send him one anyway. Other bands do this exact thing all the time.

Unless everything you do is entirely original (including all of the style), you can easily offend copyright laws with these exchanges. You're on your own about all that.


If using Real Tracks, it's essentially infeasible unless everybody owns the same files. They're too big to send and grossly unethical to share anyway.


(Looks like everybody already covered all this while I learned to type. Sorry.)
