Leadsheets typically only contain the lyrics, chord symbols and melody line of a song and are rarely more than one page in length. Musicians will often use these skeletons to improvise their own arrangements. Leadsheets often do not contain complete lyrics to the song.

Great song, great transposition but...
the layout could be better. Firstly, why not try to squeeze bars 25-26 onto page 3? This would eliminate an unnecessary page turn when I play the da capo from bar 60 (page 5) to bar 25 (page 2). Easier to balance on a piano stand as well. Secondly, why print the Coda sign at the end of bar 39 and not at the end of bar 40? Bar 40 is the same as bar 61. This would get rid off one bar thats entirely unnecessary to print (since its a repeat) and would create a more pleasing layout in the coda, withs bars 62-63 in one line, then 64-65 in another line, and so on and so forth. Easier to read as well, especially when I do ad libs and squeeze in a couple more repeats and then want to find my way back to end the song properly. Other than that its a great transposition. The print is clear, the lyrics correct and theres enough space for some note taking.
