Hi Roy,

This is my take on it.

*Each numeral represents two bars.

*In the first [A], there are 8 numerals so this means that there are 16 bars.

*0 = bars 1 & 2, 1 = bars 3 & 4....7 = bars 15 & 16

*Wherever the same numeral occurs, this means that those two bars of chords defined by their first appearance occur.

*Since your second group of [A] is exactly the same as the first, then the 16 bars are identical to the first group.

Let's say I had the progression...

C|F|C|G|C|C|F|F

First section...

C|F = 0
C|G = 1
C|C = 2
F|F = 3

C|F|C|G|C|Dm|G|C

Second section...

C|F = 0 (this has already been defined)
C|G = 1 (also defined above)
C|Dm = 4 (it's a new chord pair so it takes a new numeral)
G|C = 5 (another new chord pair)

This means, that if I want to use repeats, I could repeat the first 4 bars of the first section and and then jump to a second ending for the last four bars represented by chords 4 and 5.

Regards,
Noel
