Adam: Ah I see! You have 32 (or 24 unique) bars of chords you want to use. Unfortunately, because the sheet music only has 16 bars (of space at least) then we can't inject any more than that 🤷‍♂️
Jean Banwarth: No, I think we don’t understand each other 😄If I don’t use any repetition to note the tune, I have 2 parts of 16 measures (32 measures). Which gives : Part 1 = |D|D|Em|Em|Bm|Bm|A|A||D|D|Em|Em|Bm|Bm|A|A| Part 2 =|D|D|G|G|Bm|Bm|A|A||F#m|F#m|G|G|Bm|Bm|A|A| Cheers Jean
Adam: I've adjusted your input so you have the chord ending variations you've specified. This means only using the D chords rather than the F# for the second time though. I hope that helps.
