Hey folks, relative newbie here. Diving in with my wonderful Remington D10 I got from Damir Besic, and I'm considering making some adjustments to the copedent on both necks.
Here's what I have - I've highlighted in red things I have seen on Emmons copedent charts that I currently lack.
On the E9, that missing G#--F# RKL on 6 seems easy enough to add. Will be curious to see how hard it will be to change my Carter Starter to match (it currently has a B-Bb RKL and a simple D#-D RKR).
The C6 setup looks like Jack Stoner's copedent. Mike Jones also has an E-D# on 2, though RKL/RKR are swapped, as appears to be common.
Adding the D+D# on P8 should be simple enough. I'm curious if I'll be missing that C+C# RKR that I see on the Emmons copedent, though.
Any advice for a guy with ~6 intensive months on E9 looking to dive into C6? I'm more inclined toward western swing, but versatility is always good. Considering doing the Franklin course. Thanks!

| That G# down to F# is a fun change, but can be dependent upon string gauge, and likely will not work if you use a wound 6th. |

Check and see if you aren't already raising string 7 instead of lowering 6. Some guitars are set up that way. The diagram indicates no. Carter Starters aren't meant for changing things.
On the back neck I lower the 3rd string on RKL and raise the 4th on RKR. That's just me. The rest of it looks like basic C6.
One thing you can do, and I mean no ill by this, would be to take what you have and master that.There is more than enough there to keep you busy for a couple days.

Craig,
I agree with you.
But, was that a typo?
I would think that "a couple decades" of busy-ness would be more accurate.
