Tuning
I have a lot of guitars with locking systems tuned to Eb. A tuning control for playback would great, without effecting the name of the chords.
i.e. I want to see Em on the chart and hear Ebm.

How about a way to chain existing songs into a medley? Just an idea. By the way. This is my favorite app, hands down. Thanks.
It also would be great to be able to ritardando the last bar for more realism
I'm not sure overriding the internal clock is an easy task, or even possible. In the meantime, one trick I frequently use is to put the "END" command a bar or two before the resolution measure. Then I can fill with as much ritardando as I want. (Admittedly, this is an easier solution for a pianist than for a horn player.)
There is the possibility of repeating parts (text for example 8x). It would be helpful if there would an indicator while playing of the momentary number of the repeat. Hope you understand. Best regards Volker
I usually lose track of how many repeats have gone by if it's more than 2x or 3x. Ideally, the Player would display some kind of visual count-down. But for now, I've tried to solve this by using one less repeat, and then writing out the final repeated bars to give myself some advance warning. Here's a chart I did that's a good example of an extended ending within the coda:
You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' - Barry Mann-Phil Spector-Cynthia Weil
Cool idea!! (writing out the final repeat cycle for a headzup)

I LOVE your app, and have even persuaded my very talented (and quite famous) piano accompanist to use it!
It would be really useful to be able to press play at the beginning of a play list (mine are all organised as set-lists), and then NOT have to press play again for each consecutive song, but have it continue to scroll through the list.
I currently either have to keep stopping, return to the ipad, click on the next song, click on the player and press play between each song (not terribly professional!), or if there are songs that I absolutely have to have as continuous play together, I export them and open them in Sweet MIDI, which Does have the option for auto play.
PLEASE can you consider adding this option at your earliest convenience :-)

A good way to play a "medley" is your work-around or a taped track.

First of all, I love the app - fantastic practice tool.
I recently downloaded the chords/scales module and it would be extremely helpful if there was an option to display the relevant scale/mode that is being played over the particular chord as a fingering diagram - instead of just the notation. Something along the lines of this screenshot: https://lh6.ggpht.com/0h9oh4yn5n5lZc...7JKnGEuLh=h900
For example, I play a 5-string electric bass tuned EADGC - it would be great if it could display the fingerings for D Dorian (or any other) mode.
Please add the ability to create a new song chart directly using the number system. PLEASE!
If you're playing in the Key of C#, you may encounter B# and E# chords, and if you're playing in Cb, you may encounter Fb chords. (Or at least you will if they are written technically correctly.) In any case, I therefore like to practice chords in all 21 Root Names—i.e., sharps, naturals and flats in all seven note names. But the chord wheels for main chords and slash chords do not include B#, E# or Fb. How hard would it be to add those three so as to have all 21 chord names available? I'm hoping that could be done without too much trouble.
Very much appreciate your consideration of this. Thanks very much.
EDIT: The new iOS7 layout should make it eaay to add B#, E# and Fb, yes? These are imaginary KEYS, but they are
NOT imaginary CHORDS. And iRealb IS all about chords, right?

Import a songs chords from say chordie or ultimate directly into ireal b new song editor Is this possible.? Once in , then use the editor to fix it up.
At this time, you can't directly or automatically transfer/convert text, tab, or biab files to irb format.
irb charts must be created individually using one of the irb editors.

With barlines missing in Chordie, Ultimate, ChordPro etc. I am not sure you would save much time because you would need to be inserting or deleting spaces between each of the chords and adding all the missing barlines. We have made it very easy to tap a letter name and chord type (quality), especially the basic ones like m and 7 which are quite common in these formats.
Also it is easy to add repeats and 1st, 2nd time bars, coda etc. so you would not be importing then deleting lyrics, tabs, additional verses, choruses, comments etc. then having to tidy up.
For anyone interested:
There are a number of apps that import and display these formats (android and iOS) already but do not have a player.
Hi there! Great App! I liked the Icon and the overall style before the current update better though.
I can t loop a single bar anymore, cycle option seems only to be available with at least two bars selected. Any help?
Cheers
A way to sell more inapp functions ;-) :
what about more styles: i d love to have blues, rock, metal. this could be wonderfull to practise licks n scales not only in jazz etc.
Thanks a lot!!!
I find the piano comping and velocities too agresive for the soloist. It becomes practically impossible for me as a vibist to improvise freely. It's too busy and repetitive. I would also love to have the possibility to have the bass line playing half notes swing during the melody and switch to quarter notes swing during the repeats. Thank you so much for such a wonderful app. Keep on the good work!
Thank you for your comment. You could mute the piano by turning down the volume, especially if you are playing vibes since you can add chords occasionally yourself while soloing. Sometimes I use the Rhodes sound instead (tap the treble clef for instrument options) although you might think the sound is a little like your vibes sound. Also you could try Gypsy Jazz (guitar choices).
One of the options in playback styles in the Jazz pack is Swing Two/Four where the first and last chorus is in two-feel.
Hi not sure if I'm in the right place but can I request chords, songs etc for ukulele. I would purchase all.
Hi, could we get a blues pack for ireal pro ios7 version? Personnaly I miss it...
Hi everybody!
Nice app, i use it al day...one thing im still waiting for is the ability to import/handle/show pdf-files!
This would make this app the allrounder for me ;-)

The first melody note of a tune is also important for me—actually it's not really the first melody note I want, it's the first downbeat note I want, i.e., the note on the downbeat of the first non-pickup measure.
I first tried adding this start note to the chart using the text feature, but of course it won't change if you change the key of the tune. However, you can accomplish that automatic key change with the alternate chord feature. The vast majority of the time there is no chord change on the 2nd beat of the first measure. So I just use the alternate chord feature in that second beat of the first measure to suspend a small start note up there, hanging over nothing. When you change keys, the start note then changes, too. Sometimes I also use the text feature from the first beat of that first measure to make a small notation in front of that first down-beat note like "db:" so that it looks like "db:Ab" which reads as "first downbeat note is Ab". Works for me, anyway.
Here are some symbols I place in the text field occasionally, then scroll them up to where I want them.
♩ ♪‿ ♭ ♮ ♯
(I don't remember the keyboard shortcuts, but you can just copy and paste them from a text document. Of course, this is infinitely easier on the OSX program.)
Thanks for the playlist "Last Songs" (I don't know the exact english name). But when you select and play songs in this list, the table view is not updated (resorted). You have to leave the playlist and re-enter for that.
My feature request: Make the current song playable (and stoppable) in the control center. Next and previous song selection would be fine also (on base of the latest song list). What is strange, that the last version of iRealPro already "resets" the information about the last song played in iTunes.
A short text field for song notes would be most welcome. Perhaps the middle field below the title.
I'd use it to make note of tempo MM, especially since the Player changes the MM setting when switching styles. But hints like AABA or AABB etc would be useful. I suppose I could put it as text under the first measure, but a subtitle is a better location.
I'm using iRealPro 5.0.1 on my ancient (but still useful) iPad-1. Thanks...Lyle
The issue with an additional text field displayed on the chart is that it would dedicate valuable real estate on a tiny phone screen which could reduce the size of displayed chords.
If there's extra room on *your* chart(s), just insert an empty system (16 blank spaces) and there's plenty of room for your notes at the top of the chart using text. Adding text notes about the song-form to the first (or second) measure has worked fine for me. The text position can be adjusted to display below, above (or in) any measure.

Here's what I use when I want to mark a tempo:
Break Song (F)
Note: the the = symbol is not accepted by the file code, so I substitute ~
Is there next version have ability to produce a note out for each chord for lead guitar ? That would be awesome..
Why not a new feature of ear training?
Having the ability to clear the grid, then listen to, and rewrite it ?
Where are the degrees notation ?
I need the D.C. command to exclude any Intro section and go back to the actual top of the piece sans Intro. Why would you ever want D.C. to replay the Intro? The only way I can use D.C. now is either to not have an Intro at all or to place the Intro down at the bottom of the piece and start from down there, which is pretty artificial. Why not just have D. C. exclude the Intro?
suggestion to check out the bass notes in jazzstyle.
Sometimes in the first note in the second round the bass plays the 3 instead of the root. Not so nice in a walking bass, imo.
Please add writing kicks above the bars .This feature is the only missing feature from this almost perfect app. Player doesnt need to play it but it could be even better. But for us jazz musicians Kicks are very important symbols in a lead sheet.
I second the nomination for a dropbox interface. I have several gadgets that I need to keep in sync and use dropbox for all my other apps.
I would also like to cut-and-paste from a text file editor into this app as the editor is the clumsiest part of this highly elegant app (and I say this as both a musician and someone who made their living in the software industry for 30 years.)
Neat, but how did you input the note symbol?
