Adam: Frank, I have updated the sheet music in expanded form to support your additional chords for repeats. In general, if you would like to include different chords for repeats, please ask me and I will try to help by finding a sheet music for which this is physically possible. 💡 Tip: Use the "Add link 🔗" button to post videos below arrangements.
Adam: If you have any suggestions for how one can write 16 bars of chords on 8 bars of music then I'll gladly do that. Yes, the repeat part you've written for A are the 9th - 16th bars of this 16 bar sheet music, so it's only logical that it would get displayed on bars 9-16 isn't it? If you'd like to select a different sheet music from the session that is written with Parts A and B in their expanded format then I'll be happy to use that so you can explicitly include both repeats for each part. Otherwise physics doesn't allow for fitting 32 bars of chords onto a 16 bar sheet music.
