To Ray Davies Hi Ray
You got it in one. I play and teach traditional Irish tenor banjo and I wanted to give the *printed* sheets to my students - those who can't read music - to make the tunes a little easier to get around. But on your point about the playing of chords on player programs, I hadn't even thought about playing them with the amended "text" written in. The sound might be interesting enough or, more likely, downright godawful. Incidentally, is that how the Kinks got their ideas??!!

Any ABC written "A"a"B"b etc. will play as chords on most player programs and will sound pretty strange. But I guess you just want a print-out so it won't matter.
