"Of all the books you've done are there any that are geared more for the upright bass?"

I'll take another look at my books with that question in mind. I play an unusual fretless upright, but it's tuned like a double bass, so I identify with that community. But you really do figure out your own fingerings, depending on, e. g., which F you want, where you're coming from and where you're going next.

Interesting, DaleMac! Using your suggestion, I've come up with this:

Anatevka Intro 1 - Hal Leonard HL00359861 (1983, but in reprint) pp.49-52

It still has the problem of the Drum playing in the opening beat of the N.C. measure, but the team is aware of that problem and will fix, I understand. Also, I had to set it up with 4 repeats of one measure using a close repeat bracket because without the close repeat bracket it would sound the next invisible chord unless I put an N.C. in the fourth beat of each preceding bar, and doing that artificially cut off the chord in the third beat. This is the best workaround so far. Thanks!

...It still has the problem of the Drum playing in the opening beat of the N.C. measure...

Just touch/hold the 2nd measure and start playing from there.

E.g., Gershwin. On my sheet music for "I Loves You, Porgy" it starts at q=59, but then at about measure 33 it jumps up to q=108 for the last 30-some measures. Be nice if Playback could handle that somehow.

E.g., Gershwin, again. My sheet music for "I Loves You, Porgy" has a measure with eight chord changes on the eighths followed by a measure with five changes. Nice if Playback could handle that. Need chords on the eighths for Gershwin in quite a few tunes.

Gershwin, again.

I have two small suggestions for the next version.

In edit mode, I would like a key added to the chord keyboard. The key should insert a single bar line at the end of a space on the chord chart. Presently, there is a key that inserts a single bar line at the beginning of a space. Adding this new key would avoid having to switch to the symbols keyboard at the end of a line. It's a small thing but I think this change would make editing a bit easier.

In edit mode, with regard to inserting text, there are three keyboards. On the #+= keyboard, I would like a flat symbol to be added. Presently, one must use a lower case b to designate a flat symbol, but a true flat symbol would be nicer.

Thanks for your work on iReal Pro. It continues to improve with each version. I wish I could always say the same about my piano playing…

Presently, there is a key that inserts a single bar line at the beginning of a space. Adding this new key would avoid having to switch to the symbols keyboard at the end of a line.

As Nimbleswitch said, it will automatically add a right barline at the end of a system when you insert one at the beginning of the next system. If you want any other barline at the end (double, final, repeat) you will have to change to Symbols for all the choices.

In edit mode, with regard to inserting text, there are three keyboards. On the #+= keyboard, I would like a flat symbol to be added. Presently, one must use a lower case b to designate a flat symbol, but a true flat symbol would be nicer.

You should be able to copy the flat or sharp symbol from the chord box then paste into the text box. I have not tested this extensively to see if there are any (bad) consequences in doing this, but it seems to work in my quick tests.

Gershwin, again.

This Q could be addressed if we could ..

specify the inversion of a chord.
On the piano playing Eb^ C-7 Ab^ F-7 all in root position outlines a sort of descending melody of D Bb G Eb .
If we could specify inversions we could theoretically have iRealb play heads

The first line here demonstrates how the descending chords i'm going for are muddled in inversions

Ditto Keith re the♭key on the #+= keyboard in Edit. And if you can remove the extra blank spaces that come attached to the front and the back of the ♭ symbol (like that one) even better. Also, the # symbol is not the same as the ♯ symbol, and since neither the * nor the = keys function in Edit mode anyway, how about replacing them with♭and ♯, side by side? Lastly, re the #+= keyboard, how about replacing ~, €, £ and ¥, which we never need, with ♮, ∆, ø and o? (The♮has the same spacing problem that♭has.)

Where would we use these symbols? In various text notes in charts and right here in the Forums just talking to each other like we are now, for examples.

Seems like all we do is come up with more work for you guys doesn't it? Well, that doesn't mean we don't apprecuate iRP as THE most fantastic app out there.
