I am Annie from Manitou Springs, Colorado. I write charts in Finale and would love to participate in your program. I am a clarinetist and need to transpose many of my C parts into Bb. I am in the process of trying to create a Bb Gypsy Jazz book for myself. I am sad because I can't seem to push the right buttons to download your charts on wiki. My Finale charts are beautiful, but I am not up-to-par on using the internet properly. annie

Hi Annie,
you sure know http://www.wikifonia.org as a (slowly) growing resource for MusicXML sheets (Finale compatible).
Which tunes are you looking for - I am a Finale user myself, so maybe I got them.

hello there, I also use finale and have many songs (look at my posts), so please ask.

is "I'se a muggin'" going to get in somewhere? I haven't been able to find a leadsheet for that song anywhere, and I really love it.

Thanks for posting these.

I will start putting them into sibelius and then transpose them for Bb.

Hey Jazzferri,
I am a bit busy right now, but if you give me a couple of weeks I'll send my Bb Django book.

Thanks I look forward to it at your convenience

I wrote one up, but I'm not sure how accurate it is, and I know it's in a different key than Django's version to accommodate our vocalists. I have it in Bb, and I think the original is D?

A new Django fakebook has been compiled and is available as a "transcription service" at http://www.musickit.com/performerkit/djazzdjamtrans.

While this set of transcriptions is better than anything else out there that I am aware of, the service encourages all to subscribe, and provide input to create even more accurate charts, and suggestions for additional tunes to be transcribed, in the spirit of this post saying "Let's write a fake book together." There is a cost.
