How about a way to indicate chord rhythms if needed. Just saw the post for Goldfinger and know that right now the chord rhythm can't be notated. Larry
An option to play chord alterations instead of simple chords (as the pianists do in the regular performance) - ie. instead of Dm7-G7-CMaj7 play Dm13-G7(b9#11)-CMaj7(#11)..
Thanks for reply. I know I can edit the chords, what I meant is to have a switch to play alterations automatically - either randomly, or based on some logic. The same way pianists do in a band - they have simple chords in chart, but play alterations, to spice things a little.This is already a capability of the player - edit the chords and choose the alterations as you wish (IReal b wondrously covers basically all of them).
This would indeed be a great feature, to have some simple notation for rhythms etc. either above or below stave.
(Although, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't know the syncopated motif of Goldfinger!)
As an admirer and now devoted user of this wonderful app, I would like to offer some observations on features or improvements to this app.
1. Custom Chord Qualities.
2. Multirest: A bar style [ ------- ] multirest would be useful in addition to the repeat marks .//.
2. On the 'Alternate Chords' section, would be wonderful to add random numbers or text. i.e. to denote number of tacet bars or add expression marks.
3."Fill" Text - to add to end of bars.
4. Resize: Horizontal Spacers or stave resize option would be useful (especially for long chord extentions).
5. More rehearsal marks.
6. Direct upload to iPhone via server, software or iTunes as opposed to the current email functionality.
(I have already emailed developer with a few of these requests, just a record for this forum.)
Some extra info on each tune would be really helpful , particularly the FIRST note in the melody etc,
As an example, here is a snippet of a handy web site which holds such info on many jazz songs. Might give you an idea. Buf for me, knowing which note is the first in the tune is the most important. Make it clear to see too. :
------------------------------------
KEY
====
start note includes pickup; first chord does not
NRB = New Real Book: vol, page
RB5 = Real Book, Fifth Edition
RB = "Real Book" (A, B, C ... are not actual designations; your page numbers may vary)
UJ = "Ultimate Jazz Fake Book" (Hal Leonard)
JA = "Jamey Abersold: vol, track
Title style key start first NRB RB5 RB UJ JA note chord
A beautiful friendship swing C E C 53
Alfie's Theme swing Bbm F Bbm B 4
Etc
I would also add a new info item to this: namely the Number of the corresponding "Hal Leanard Jazz Playalong" Volume and track since these are now substabtial and useful as well. ( they have benefits for live performance since they oftren have LESS choruses for solos , plus contain a melody track to learn the tunes )
Just to add - here is the link to the web site in question, might speed things up for you
