OK, here's another. My arrangement exactly matches the recording, and it plays it too. 134bpm, 4x through.

Thanks for this. Your chart intro has a repeat sign, however the song's intro only plays four bars, not eight.

The addition of the abrupt changes in bars 7 and 8 of the B section are good (not sure what the musical term for that is). How did you create those? Also wondering about bars 5/6 in B; shouldn't those chords be spelled out since they fall at the beginning of a line?

Sorry for the beginner questions. I'm learning from your edits!

I made a few tweaks to your chart. As a bass player, I'm definitely hearing B-7/E in the A, B sections and Coda. I'd appreciate your thoughts....

This is odd.
The intro in my chart has both opening and closing repeat signs. It does correctly plays 8 bars on my device. I can't explain why it only plays 4 bars on yours. I've played the entire song along with the recording, it follows exactly the same structure.
The bass clearly plays a B on the downbeat over the B-7 chord. So it's not a B-7/E (or E9sus). It's just a B-7.
There's no need to write the chords again at the beginning of each row. If it's the same chord, you can keep using the double repeat sign until there's a new chord.
The rhythm markings are just symbols (Unicode) entered are text comments

Dave, Cyrille is correct, the player will work ok if you continue using bar-repeats across systems.
The iRp conventions suggest writing the chord(s) again at the start of a new line.

I usually do that on my charts and find it easier to follow.
