Thanks, Mac. Let me clarify. The conversation I had with the pianist took place well over thirty years ago, and I learned from it. What I should have said is that in BIAB I use the extended chords, because it does make a difference in the sound. When I then make a chart for that song in a notation program, I simplify it and let the pianist and guitarist do their thing.

My original request was more about keying in other people's charts from fakebooks.
