I LOVE LOVE LOVE iReal Pro by the way!!

One small thing though. I am practising say the "A" section only, so I mark that section (say 16 bars) and I can then repeat that section over again. But after a couple of bars I make a mistake (I'm learning so it happens often ;-) ). Now I can pause the play and start again, but if I want to start from the beginning of the selected section I have to either wait for the tune to get back to the beginning or stop and then re-select the "A" section. Wouldn't it be great if once you pause a selected passage the current bar was highlighted with symbols for "continue" or "start from beginning of selection".

Just an idea. :-)

Thanks all for a great application !!!
You're right Beans1900 , after pause it starts up where you left it and in loop mode the only way to get back to the top is to ;
1) wait for it to go around the loop or
2) press stop which erases the loop and you have to enter the loop again.

A couple things;
I have a loop on my transcribing app (gAssistant) that alway goes to the beginning of the loop when you press the space bar.
I'm not sure that would be popular here?

I'd say that you should set the loop at a bar before the place you made a mistake and one bar after it and just play it till you have it down perfect .
One of the great things about IrealPro is how quickly you can set up your loops.
I'm a teacher and I used to use Smart Music but it was really slow to reset a song and the loop process is very time consuming.
IrealPro is great because it's fast to set up and get playing.

Here's what I have my students do when learning a song ;
If it's an AABA tune with 8 bars in each section.
1)Loop the first 4bars and practice the head , scales or whatever?
2) do the same thing with bars 5-8
3) then put all 8 bars together and loop
4) Do steps 1,2 and 3 with the bridge
5) do the whole song

good luck
