Rules so far

Here is a brief list of possible draught rules and thoughts I've come up with.  I'm adding more every day, but need to start discussing them with Kenny before being sure of them.

Major triad chord can be replaced with Maj6add9
If there exists more than one 4-5 introduce a ii-V in the key of the 5 chord every second time.
I-IV - add minor ii-v in relative minor key of IV.  Eg. F-Bb play F- Adim7 - D7b9 - Bb
If V-I add ii before V OR VII9 before V (the latter is the tritone sub of the ii)
Root chords that do not start or resolve a line can be replaced with a vi
Said vi can then include a ii-V sequence
The ii chord can be substituted for a ii#9b5 chord (if going to a ii-V especially)
If a I chord begins a chorus, add a V7 before it.
If going to a V7, on each beat of the preceding bar back cycle into it (eg. if G7 play | B7 Bb7 A7 Ab7| on the bar before it.

I'll add another post with more rules soon.  I'm going to show Kenny the rules in chunks and see what he thinks of them.  I'll edit each post with rules as time goes on with his feedback.
