howdy folks - I found a workaround for the 'jig feel' we're all missing:

Set 'style' to Pop - Bluegrass
Meter to ⅜
Tempo over 200 or so..

Then just apply repeats to every bar, for a 6/8 jig feel (use x4 in the text field for a double jig bar). This will also allow you to keep the same song structure when iRealb eventually supports the 'jig' style. You'll only have to remove the repeats on each bar. It's a bit messy, but you'll be able to hear the right feel.

First and second endings may make this workaround a bit dragged out, but for simple repeated A/B sections, I use D.C. al Fine to repeat the A section, but for the B section I just copy it twice, as using D.S. after D.C. doesn't seem to work.

Here is The Sligo Maid as an example. Let me know if I missed anything - works for me!


Fortunately, slip jigs are entirely functional from the get-go: 9/8 with the bluegrass style sounds fine.
