Hi Lawrence,   Fake is another term for improvise. A standard (old) Fake Book, legal or otherwise, has melody, chord symbols and lyrics, that’s all.   I had to go to my 1950s Fake Book, just the other day, to get the lyrics to an old tune. I have also used it to figure out the form of

Try an empty measure as the last measure in the first ending. It won't work. The option will be selected, and the half-tie will appear while the frame is open, then disappear when you exit the frame. There HAS to be something, even rests, in the preceding measure for backwards half-ties to work
