Reply To: Integration: strophic songs w/ complex arrangements.

Hi there,

I agree that in a piano-dominant format, showing the different syllable elision for a 2nd or 3rd verse seems unnecessarily complicated. If you are only doing the vocal part, perhaps it's worth it to show the differences in the verses, though.

I think your idea of adding "VERSE" and "VERSE ENDS" looks helpful. These pop songs with complicated repeat patterns are tricky enough as it is! I think readers would be thankful for a little extra help navigating.

(Just noticed that in the pickup measure, you have a half rest instead of a quarter rest!)

Hope that helps!
