Adam: Great, glad you figured it out! At the moment it's limited to what the sheet music can show since we can't fit two variations into any one sequence of 8 bars. However, many tunes expand the repeats so there's still plenty of opportunity for this, just depends on what the sheet music permits. Thanks, I'm glad you like it. Great to have your contributions! 🎶 (1 like)
Gar: Thanks - I think figured this out for "The Merry Sisters of Fate." Is there some method of notating different chords for second and third repetitions of parts? I'm sure you know that trad players play variations when repeating parts, and accompanists do the same. It would be cool to be able to notate those variations. Maybe a future feature? Neat site, btw!
Adam: Hello and welcome to TradChords! For the 2 chords, this should match the number of bars in the ending bracket. So in this case 1 bar only for Part A and 2 bars only for Part B. Also each Part should contain 8 bars to match the music. If you don't want different chords for the 2 ending then you can just skip this. Hope that helps. (1 like)
