4 Rules for a Great Library
| Rule | Why |
|---|---|
| Quality > quantity | 50 complete entries beat 200 half-filled ones |
| Update as you learn | New cue? Better variation? Edit it — future programs benefit automatically |
| Add regressions + progressions | Makes on-the-fly modifications effortless |
| Review quarterly | Remove what you never use, add what you’ve discovered |
The payoff: faster programming, better variety, zero duplicates. What works for 5 clients scales to 50.
