I have just updated the list of lead sheets at:
http://mainely-jazz.com/leadsheets_new/
There are 2494 different ones -- an increase of
221 since I last published the list in January. 2007.

These are available for e-mail transfer for $5 a song.

These are easily readable pdf files  and listenable midi files.
created by the "Sibelius" music program and "Band in a Box".
I had found the Anderson charts just too hard to read on the stand
as well as wanting the charts transposed for Bb and Bass instruments.

They include Concert key, Concert-key-bass-clef, & Bb Inst.
plus in many cases, Concert Key + Lyric, as well as a midi file
created either from the Sibelius music program or in most cases,
the "Band in a Box" program. Many of these are cleaned up versions
of what is in the Chas. Anderson fake sheet collection. In many cases
the citations of records have been corrected and extended and in
some cases, the chord and notes corrected when I noticed discords.

The lead sheets also include some songs from the "Firehouse Jazz Band"
fake book that had not made it into Dave's Dixie fake books. as well as
a few constructed from sheet music or fake books I have and midi files I 
found on the web -
in the cases that the Anderson fake book did not include them or didn't have
complete versions (e.g. verse)
There are some from the Bechet charts that were made available thru DJML
some time ago and a couple or more from the "Antologie des Grilles de Jazz"
-- lead sheet version.
 I have left most of the warhorses to Dave Littlefield as our band uses his
Dixieland volumes 1&2..
-- but there are some duplicates. I have not been as carefull
to avoid songs in his 20s 30s "popular songs' books.

I also have, tho not listed on the mainely-jazz  web site, a bass clef 
version of
his Volume 1 Dixieland Fake Book, and have done about 1/2 of
volume 2 (it's a bit harder to format than vol 1) I have not yet
put Vol 1 into readily printable book form - just pdf files for each song.

At present I am not set up to send physical copies, just pdf & midi files.
