A few tunes from the Django Fake Book
I'm sorry if some of these duplicate the efforts of others. I'm still trying to get to grips with finding my way around the forum. As an intermediate student I need to have both the lead sheet and the iReal Pro backing track to make progress with learning a new song. I need the Fake book and the key/tempo/style of the backing track to agree to make any progress. So these tunes are written at an easy tempo and are in the same key as the lead sheet. Also I've stuck to the 'vanilla' chords because i think they give the soloist a better chance to improvise.
I'm hoping to post more tunes as I do them :)

While you are welcome to offer your own versions, re-posting charts that are essentially duplicates just makes it more difficult for users to search the forums because so many more results are returned.
Though the app shouldn't download multiple *identical* versions, any small changes in posted charts can result in duplicate titles in your song index. iRp tries to keep that straight by automatically adding a number to additional downloads of even slightly altered charts with the same title. <title>, <title>1, <title>2, etc.
That's why all the Django Fakebook charts (link above) include "(dfb)” in the title. It identifies their source and avoids confusion.
Posting charts that are only slightly (cosmetically) different isn't helpful and only results in inconvenience to others.
Example:
Compare your "If I had You" chart with the dfb chart in post #114 of this thread. Though musically IDENTICAL, the slight cosmetic alteration will result in unnecessary duplicate titles in the user's song index.
Charts should follow iRp Posting Conventions:

(Review the use of repeat brackets)
Also, please remember to include the composer when posting charts.
If I Had You - Ted Shapiro
