    Default Requesting charts

    In case the previous post wasn't clear......

    Search before you post

    Many folks ask for charts without first doing a search.

    If you access the forums through your browser, there is indeed a magnifying glass icon in the upper-right corner of the forums' page, if you get to the forum from within your app it's at the top Right of the forums sidebar.

    Ok, you've searched and your tune isn't posted (yet).

    Correctly format your post

    Unless you format your request correctly, you are wasting your time and your post may be deleted.

    Just posting the song title isn't enough. The only people who will see your post are also looking for that tune.

    THEY DON'T HAVE IT EITHER.

    Many tunes have similar titles, that's why the COMPOSER'S name is required as well.
    If you don't know who wrote the song, LOOK IT UP. Hey, you are on the Internet....

    The word (Request) must also be in the thread title.
    That's how our helpful volunteers will find your’s and other pending chart requests.

    Post in the right place

    You may post your song requests as a NEW thread, ONE AT A TIME...in the most appropriate SONG forum.
    Think: if you were sharing a chart for that song instead of requesting the song,
    in which song Forum would it make the most sense to post that song?
    Jazz — Latin — Pop — Country — Other
    Post your request there.

    The (Request) thread will eventually become the discussion thread for additional charts/versions of that song.

    Use the correct thread title format:

    .....................Song Title - Composer Name (Request)

    Include any other information in the body of your post

    If you are hoping that someone with "good" ears will take their time to write out and post a chart as a favor for you, you'll want to make it as easy for them as possible, so include a YouTube* link so that they can EASILY listen to it. (...and think, that's a cool tune, I could write out a chart for it.)
    *not Spotify.

    The more complete your request is and the easier you make it for folks, the more likely someone will help you.

    When someone posts a chart in response to your request, please be sure to thank them.
