Nope, I've done it before. I block out the chords in little squares with the
chord name in them...

Worked with a producer named Tracy Chisolm a long time ago and he blocked
out our band's songs on huge paper tablets, like you see in board meetings.
His maps were crazy!

Check out "here is what is", the Lanois movie. If I remember correctly, he's
got a big map of "not fighting anymore", maybe on the floor...? in the
scene where he's describing what he wants from Brian Blade.
