Take Five for 5-String Banjo: Continued

For as many years as I've been using tabs arranged with Tabledit, I've never actually given the demo a try. After 15 minutes I was convinced; I must own this software.

I started out trying to arrange this Paul Desmond tune in its native E?m key, but after some experimentation I noticed that Dm works much, much better on banjo; everything falls pretty much between the 5th and 7th frets. And playing it in E?m will be a simple matter of capoing on the first fret.
