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.
