Currently the player only offer a 1 or 2 bar count-in.
A possible workaround could be to add a 2-bar intro. You could enter N.C's for drums only. Be sure to use double-bar lines.

Thanks. I was hoping to enter it as a feature request by posting it here. It seems like others might have the same problem if they're practicing with pdf lead charts while using the iReal B as a rhythm section.
Hello,
It would be nice to edit with my iPad in landscape mode so that I can leave it plugged-in and charging while using my Zagg bluetooth keyboard.

So I started using iReal for learning rhythm patterns on iPad and here are my main complaints/feature requests.
(I write as directly as possible to avoid "I think that" and "in my opinion" noise.)
1. Trying to start playback and view chords is cumbersome. A single click should view the chord and double tap to start the playback.
1.1 Add a play button near the song title, so you could start it with one click
--- nice if you want to browse large library of songs you pulled of the forums.
2. Move the playback settings to the sidebar instead of a showing it over the sheet.
-- It's easier to modify it there, and it's annoying to constantly hide/show it (in landscape mode).
3. The title on the sidebar is redundant... move the tab buttons to the upper side and they work just as well.
3.1 The playlists edit button can instead be moved done or substituted for a long press on the playlist titles.
4. The extra space gained in 3. can be used to display the web, hub, edit, delete, ... buttons in the sidebar.
5. Swipe from the sides of the screens is unused;
-- it could be used to show/hide the sidebar/controls in portrait mode.
6. Show multiple measures [4-8] of chords as sheet/tab.
-- It makes it easier to learn chords since you can also practice moving from one chord to another.
7. Adding to playlist could be done by dragging from the title of the sheet to the sidebar (sidebar automatically shows the playlists)
-- and then drop on the playlist. (Also it would switch back to the previous view).
Otherwise great work.

iCloud support for syncing playlists would be great.
I'm using iReal B on 3 devices and always need to triple check if all the songs are on all three devices.
Greets.
I too have iReal B on three devices and find it hard to keep them all in sync. Please iCloud.
It would be nice if when starting the app it remembered where I was, i.e. what song, playlist, etc.
I use the numerical notation in conjunction with key notation and it would be really handy to be able to flip between the 2 without having to go through the preferences. Maybe a button next to where the key can be set.
Thanks. And as always, the most amazing app in the store.
I use i Real B with Logic 9 and I wish there was a way to get the chords into logic Logic can import .mid lyrics maybe something along those lines Logic can not read .xml files unfortunately. It would be nice as well to export the chords as a text file.
I'd really to see the inclusion of a practice style with the metronome only playing on beats 2 and 4.

Be great!
My workaround was to create iRb Song (Chord Chart) using the 60 chords in iRb then create a chord grid library in Logic containing the 60 chords. Slow work indeed and the chord naming conventions vary adding even more work. 11 more keys to go!
The midi export function is a gem.
Here's the 60 chords in key C.
060-8bar-Chords-iRb-01 - Chord Chart
Thank you Dave this will come in handy. What an undertaking. Great work.
NoProblem!
Took a couple of hours but is worth it.
I don't know how well you know the chord grid editor in Logic?
You may be experienced at using the score but if not here's a bit of an insight into how to make it easier on yourself.
Create a Library dedicated to the iRb chords, it makes it easier if you "Name" the chord exactly the same as the iRb chords are named.
I found this helps a lot when you search the library for future iRb midi imports.
I am not very familiar with it as I am just learning Logic. I was just doing chord grids for a song I was composing but found out that using the chord grid was messing up my melody in the score editor. Here is the discussion http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/vi...hp?f=1&t=94996 on LogicPro Help forum if you are interested. I ended up using a separate track for my chords instead of the chord grid. As for the chord library I have not gotten it to that yet. Thanks for the insight.
Sorry I forgot the link. http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/vi...hp?f=1&t=94996
Yes, the guys over on the logicprohelp forum will see you right.
It's wise to dedicate empty tracks for chord grids.
Once you've entered your first grid on to the score and selected the chord,
ALT drag the grid to the next bar and double click on it to open the grid library to select the next chord.
You can edit quite quickly once you've practiced a bit.
Ski has written some nice score tutorials here also:

Here's iRb Chords written into score.
I've left the chords "Notes" in this version but it took a bit of time.
Notice how I've named the chords using iRb Convention.
Hope this isn't a double post?

Thanks for the link his article about using links (not URL's) in Logic is very useful.
NoProblem, there's good tutorials on that site :)
Maybe in the future iReal b and Logic will integrate and the charts from iReal b will be importable. I hope so.
For now check out the apple logic help below.
First thing to look at is creating a Library for your iReal b chords, then check out about naming the chord using iRb naming convention.
(60 iRealb chord library) a name something like the one here will go to the top of the name list.
This makes it easier when you've got a lot of chord grids to add.
The first image in the link shows the chord C 9 …
Once your chord is created look to the [Name] selector box in the inspector field above the search functions.
Typing C9 here will reflect in your created chord grid, C 9 becomes C9 as you choose your iRb library.

I'm not sure if this has been asked before (27 pages on this topic so far, not enough time to read them all! :) ) but is there any plans, or it it possible, to control irealb with a blue tooth device, in particular the Airturn Bt pedals? Moving up and down songs in a play list etc would be awesome.
While on the subject of blue tooth, it would be also great if you could sync devices together and have one choose the chart to be displayed (ala OnSong).
Airturn: yes http://irealb.com/forums/showthread....5367#post15367
Sync: not yet

I've got a few requests for additions to this great app, which I use all the time. I tell everyone that I have a bassist and a drummer living in my iPad that I can call on whenever I play the piano and believe me, they are impressed the the sophistication of my electronic friends.
I've posted before with requests for combinations styles much like the existing Latin/Swing style (Latin on A sections, Swing on everything else during the first and last choruses, and swing on the middle choruses). I've previously requested a similar Bossa/Swing style. I'd like to add another request: a Bolero/Swing style.
I'd also like to request again a Ballad/Double-Time style (slow ballad for the first and last choruses, double time for the middle choruses).
Thanks for considering these styles for future releases.
How bout a way to link songs together so a playlist can be made that then plays from one song to the next, for practicing
Ie a code at rather end of the song that triggers rather next event
A nice feature would be to be able to a ritardando at the end of songs..great product..can't wait for audio us update..thanks again
On the chord diagrams have an option to display the notes or the interval instead of just a solid dot.
This would make learning and understanding chords easier.
Also some way to enter your own chord diagram into the library and use it as an alternative to existing chords or give it a different name.
Cloudsync between your deviced would be very handy. Perhaps also to be able to automaticty share playlist update changes to invited users.
It would be really useful to have an option when printing to combine consecutive rows into a single row to produce e.g. an 8 bar per line printout.
Could you fix the tempo thing on the songs, so I don't have to open my real book and set the right tempo each time?
Any chance of adding MIDI functionality to this so I can choose my own external instruments? Something simple in function which is no doubt easier said than done.
Currently (you might have already discovered) you can export the midi file (the drum track is not much use as it is configured for our internal sounds not the general midi drum map.) This would give you a file for bass and piano/guitar for a sequencer.
Thanks for your idea, yes it would take time to implement.
I would very much like to,see a ukulele chord package
what if irealb had a photo import option with image recognition capabilities. then it would see chord symbols, time signature etc. would be so great. should'nt be so hard.
