This is especially useful because the tune supports repeated-chorus transformations.

Possible sequence:

two-beat

→ walking swing

→ block chorus

→ modulation up half-step.

Instead of four disconnected arrangements:

• let two-beat LH gradually become walking
• use a repeated melody fragment to introduce block texture
• end a chorus on dominant of the new key
• keep the comping rhythm identical through the modulation

Now the arrangement evolves rather than switches presets.
