Arrangements Starting From the Real Book

Do you want to know if, starting from the music already given ... you have noted the correct chord progression?

Or vice versa, assuming the chord progressions are correct, do you look for inconsistencies in the proposed development?

Hi Raffaele! I just saw the post. Is the fact that there are no instrument names a choice?

For jelly

Yes

I didn't transpose it to also make checking the chords easier.

Anyway, it was all done by ear

There isn't actually any real book that provides the chord symbols.

Yes Martina, actually I am looking for confirmation if the abbreviations are written correctly or maybe they are wrong.

I see you are connected...

did I do well to put the slash chords?

ok ok

Guys, what do you think about taking a piece from the real book and making a detailed arrangement for big band?

I'm looking at it, in my opinion the slash chords work, but already on the second one I find an inconsistency:

do mib solb sib are not a C diminished, or rather C-b57/Bb is okay but I didn't understand the logic of the 2 superimposed chords.

I also, like Martina, have a question: why a double signature?

Why is it generally that the first symbol is a chord and the second is the bass note

Es

C/E

would mean

do mi sol / with mi in the bass

Sibelius?

Maybe this one is better

I can get as far as the slash chords

I was referring back to the indication above the first line of a notation, starting from the beginning it reads C- Cdim/Bb, whereas on the seventh line it is C- C-5-/Bb

Will you put them in a column?

No Not Sibelius

It's a calculation I made myself

in many parts of the real book it is written like this

Even in the finale there are some options for the abbreviations

...I didn't understand

That is exactly where the problem lies

Which of the two is the more correct notation to indicate that chord?

A tough nut to crack

Oscar, if you don't quote the discussion we can't understand who you are referring to with "I didn't understand"

In case you didn't understand me, I will explain myself better

C

In Saxon terminology, indicating C major is Ok so far?

I understand Raffaele, don't get angry

C-b57/Bb

This is the most precise one

i meant the software you used

Excuse the scribble

Please do not consider the transposed version in C-

The original would be in C#- please only look at the second pdf file
