Still use this program over any other for gigging....BUUUT being a total fake book junkie....

Hal Leonard has updated alot of the books you're listing, making yours outdated. Some by quite a bit. While I understand the tediousness of indexing (I certainly don't want to do it!), You really should stay in front of the curve.

The Ultimate fake book is to 4th
Movie Fakebook is to 5th
TV fakebook is to 2nd
Disney is to 3rd

thats just to name a few...

Books glaringly missing from your index list at all:

The Ultimate Jazz Fakebook (its available for C, Eb, Bb. All with matching indexes. making it very useful.)

Hal Leonards:
Real Book IV
Real Book V
Real Rock Book I
Real Rock Book II
Real Vocal Book I
Real Vocal Book II
Hymn Fake Book


High quality indexes for this list would make my christmas happy. (btw, I see you finally put the Real Book 6th edition above Real Book II. You're so stubborn :p)

Ah! Didn't know that about the jazz Fakebook. I'll switch to that. Good stuff.

The real rock books you have indexed are not the HL versions I don't believe? Hal Leonard stuff is just so cleanly written for sight reading requested tunes. Simplified and nice blocked lettering.

Off to gig!

The Real Rock Books indexes are for the books published by Warner/Chappell.
