I have at least a couple of thousand tunes in BIAB and iRealb that I use on gigs and most of the chords have been changed from the stock ones to better ones. Just my 2 cents worth. Later, Ray


Yep I hear what you are saying Ray...

But the whole point here is that the FakeBook disks Nortons have produced are a chord for chord transcription of EXACTLY what is in the legal Real Book being used. So if one opens to any tune in the RealBook, then loads the tune from the Nortons folder, they will match. Simple as that.

If a chord is "wrong" then both are "wrong" wink at the same time, so no problemo hey smile
