Why do you guys write your songs that way to start with? Just make your chord sheet from top down and don't ask the software to repeat anything. I have never once used that "repeat the chorus" thing. Is it that much extra work to just run your chords top down from measure 1 to the end?

This comes down to a "goto x number of times then goto y...." kind of programming thing. Eliminate the goto instruction and your problem is solved.



HA!!! Kickin' it old school. Gotta love it.

But let me ask a dumb question. I'm mostly a blues dog so I don't need long charts.

But if I did need...say a 100 measure song form, and just punched all the changes in, would the lead sheet be 100 measures...2 1/2 pages assuming 10 bars per line? Or does the software figure out that you are repeating...say a 12 bar blues form 8X with a tag ending and print it out that way???

In other words...would the lead sheet have just 12 measures of changes...an 8X repeat sign and a tag ending....or not?

Or what if...after the first 7X through the form...the song does a "double turn around"...or a "Robben Ford bridge" that goes off into another county.. before going back to the head....where a DS al CODA might be used?

I seem to recall reading the documentation that the software does figure that sort of thing out...but I could be wrong...again! (-:

Thanks!
