The digital real book says it is available for Eb instruments.
I've seen friends with iPhones pull up music and use an app to change the key. No doubt someone here will know how to do this.
When I play alto clarinet for swing dances, I play roots and fifths from the printed chords until I get a notion of how the tune goes. I learned to transpose chord names on the fly but not, yet, printed melodies.

i would be interested in the Bb version - anyone knows it was transposed ??
Contacted a german site that was distributing the fakebook to ask for the original version ( sibelius , finale or whatever ) but no response
A lilypond ,sibelius or older finale version is also oke - then i transpose it .

I play clarinet a bit, mostly alto sax and guitar.
I play in a swing combo that plays alot of Django stuff. I found a Django fake book online somewhere. It has been a long time, but I think it was a European site for gypsy jazz guitars... anyway search around.
Once I got that I transposed about 50 tunes myself using this free open source software:
http://www.musescore.org/
I would just do the tune as written, then there is a function for transposing in any manner needed... even does the chords.
There is an excellent jazz font template available.

you can get the fakebook also from my site
www.manoirduswing.tk under media and also here www.gypsyguitar.de/downloads/gg.../fakebook_django_2008.pdf
But i was wondering if anyone has the Bb version of the fakebook.
@beavertoof
I would be interested to have your transcriptions in musescore format.
I'll transpose also a few others for you and send them back .
When the alto man Gene joins also , we are able to create the Bb and Eb version of the book ???
Gene ??

Hi guys,
Sorry to drop out of sight for awhile. I forgot all about this post.
I actually have been transposing even more stuff lately for Bb, as I recently got a Tenor sax, and now am playing that over my alto or clarinet.
Send me an email to my user name @yahoo
