"Rescored and arranged" - why do you need to do this, Steve? 

To make it easier to read for my 74 year old eyes!..Steve.

Understood! But it's the arranging part that I'm wondering about. What do you add or take out in your arrangement? Just curious. 

I add my own fingering as fret numbers on the notes and position markers and reduce the number of bars per line to make it easier to follow. I've rescored most of the old favourites for my own benefit, I rarely play them exactly as written and often add amendments of my own. I don't have the incentive these days spend time committing tunes to memory consequently most of what I play I sight read. Over the years I've arranged just over 700 tunes for banjo, mainly ragtime music and it's impossible to memorise all of them...Steve.
