Whatever works. My arrangers are GREAT for score roughs, but suck for live jazz play...no bass double times, retards, "walks"...none of the great stuff players do when they are in that unspoken zone.

Someone posted a good player playing a great jazz tune the other day. It SUCKED, all because of the limitations of the machine.

5 months into 2018, I use an arranger almost daily for roughs, but not once for live play.

But that's just me. Do whatever turns your crank.
