You have to use Mac editor:
(not available in Web editor nor in iReal book's song edit)
click in the staff text field - Text tab, click in text window, then EDIT menu>Special Characters.
Symbols>Miscellaneous Symbols has the quarter note (crochet), 8th note (quaver), paired 8th and paired 16th (semi-quavers). There is no single 16th.
For a half-note (minium) use the lowercase letter 'd'.
There is a bigger dot than the usual full stop (from your computer keyboard) in Misc. Symbols at the end.
You can use these symbols for any chart for yourself but we would prefer NOT having this notation in forum uploads. Eventually we hope to implement our own rhythm notation for iReal book and related software - Mac editor, Web editor and possibly Android platform as the technique described here is not very satisfactory at all.
