Werner, that is an eminently practical idea that I had not thought about. It's easy to be abstract, it's harder to be specific. I have a Bill Evans chart arranged for my combo that might suite the need easily. Of course, it would not compile but for this exercise that would not be necessary. I will work on this and hope to have something by the end of the week.
