Ya, you may recognize this is the screen of my current project which Noel helped with the MidiMap. I opened my wonderful 106 bar arrangement this morning and it now contains 255 bars of chords with the additional chords all grayed out! I am almost afraid to ask... Do I just delete these newly present bars? Final Tour - Not with a Bang but with a wimper! Ended.

Try right-clicking on the chordsheet, selecting Repeats/Codas/1st-2nd Endings and then select "Edit List". You'll soon see if I'm right or not. --Noel MY SONGS...

That the chords end on bar 197 suggests you have an intro that wasn't copied, so I suspect somehow this is a number of choruses issue. Beyond that I concur with Misha ... keep a safe copy, delece the 'spares' and see if it sounds OK. I hope it does, because I've had some odd behaviours when I've had repeats like that, where sometimes recovery seems harder than starting over. I've just seen Noel's post ... hopefully that helps. It concurs somewhat with my thoughts about number of choruses, but gives a possibly more helpful way forward. Jazz relative beginner, starting at a much older age than was helpful.

But I don't back up the file every time I open it and edit. Do you?? I will lose work on this file if I have to go to a back up. Sorry, guys - don't mean to take my frustration out on you.
