Wendy's suggestion was received well enough for Peter Gannon to quote and add a positive comment.

There is nothing in Dr. Gannon's response to indicate if the idea will be implemented or, if the idea is implemented how it will be implemented.

My guess is Dr. Gannon is acknowledging the idea is a good idea but has not examined the idea in detail to determine what steps can be taken to implement the idea so he has no idea of what degree of work is needed or what form the idea might take.

The idea of a SGU file with a chord chart of all chords used in a RealTrack is one method of addressing the issue however the same information could be provided in a much smaller text file.

It might be more difficult to document what chords are in a RealTrack than we think. For example the musician may record many hours of audio which is then divided into multiple RealTracks. The musician may not stringently follow a chord chart through out the audio recording but instead given some leeway to record as inspiration hits while following a loose guideline like "We want a set of ChaCha tracks in 25 BPM increments that can be used from 80 BPM to 180 BPM".

We users really don't know enough about how RealTracks are created to determine what is the best way to address the concern. I feel my original concern has been acknowledged. Now I can wait and see if the issue is addressed.
