"BUY LEARNING TRACKS" - If I have learning tracks or someone else does you'll see it listed here.
"PURPOSE" - Usually this is either "SHOW" or "CONTEST"
“CONTEST” - The arrangement was created for potential use in barbershop competitions held by various organizations. For men that is typically the Barbershop Harmony Society, and for female voicing either Harmony Incorporated or Sweet Adelines International. Though created for contest, some could be considered “on the edge” based on the adjudication system being used for the event. Some are also much more challenging to perform. You can email me with questions regarding the suitability of an arrangement for contest, or consult someone else in the judging community. If in doubt, ask someone in the judging community regarding suitability for contests.
“SHOW” – Not a contest arrangement. Arranged for show performance opportunities.
"INSPIRED BY (Source Material)" - this is the original artist, recording, band, movie, production, film, or other source that inspired or influenced the arrangement.
"GENRE/STYLE" - this is the general style/genre that I personally label the arrangement under. "Swing" for example, would be typically any song with a backbeat that was part of the big band and/or jazz era or modern songs with that style.
