Save Playback Settings with Song - safe from overwriting by import or other work

[knorkin]

Can you PLEASE make iRealPro save all the playback settings -- style, key, tempo, instrument selection, relative volumes -- each time a song is saved?

And make it so these settings are not subject to being overwritten by whatever you do next in some other song?

Seriously, can you imagine what an inconvenience it would be if your word processor didn't save a document's settings when you saved the document? You work on a letter, save it in-progress and set it aside to work on a half-size booklet, come back to the letter and it's now 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 with different margins, and the text no longer fits. Would you accept a word processor that worked that way?

Well customizing a song's playback settings is no different. It sometimes takes me a lot of time to get the playback I want within iReal Pro's large selection of usually not exactly right options. I save my charts. Work on something else, with different settings and selections. I come back to the previous song, and its selections are now those from the last other thing I worked on.

I realize I need to start writing down my settings. But I shouldn't have to. iReal Pro should do it for me. Same as other software does.

If there's a way iReal Pro already does what I'm asking for, I would appreciate someone telling me what it is.

Thanks.

I don’t know of a hidden option in iRealPro that saves per-song settings, but one tip I’ve seen is to duplicate charts into “practice versions” with different configurations. It’s clunky, but at least you don’t lose your preferred setup entirely.
