I would like ireal to go around the first 16 bars four times and then play the last four bars once. I have a 'first time' 2 bars at the end of the first section and a 'second time' at the start of the final four bars. I have inserted 4x inside the repeat bars. Ireal won't play 4x the first section no matter what I do. Any ideas anyone?
For help with a chart, always post your chart (iRp format) along with your request so folks can take a look at it in the editor.
As you discovered, indicating multiple repeats using text (4x etc.) within repeat brackets does not work with a 1st ending.
You can remove the 1st/2nd ending indications, make the last 4 a coda, and use 4x as in the example chart (set player to 2x) or instead adjust the number of repeats using the player repeat setting as explained in the chart.
16 Bars 4x then with different Last 4 at end - Example

This is what I tried but it didn't work.
I also tried using first and second time bars instead of the coda.
This chart will work IF...Quote:

2. MOVE THE FIRST CODA-SIGN ONE SPACE EARLIER.

Hooray!! Many thanks for your help. It works!
I want a part of my song to repeat 4 times, but the 4th time with a different ending.
Why this does not play like I described in the iReal editor ?

Please post your full chart so we can see it in context and know how much space on the page we have available.Quote:

(Except for the "4x”) your use of text under the blank ending indicators is clear... for the reader, but not the iRp player.

I need to know, how do you "make the last 4 a coda"? I apparently did as same as you with a song, but the coda works in the 1st loop and ends. How do you decide when the coda works? I see no difference between your example and my try, thank you.

The “best” answer for your situation depends on your specific chart.

Sorry, im new and i didn’t know how to do, I think I edited corretly my post to have it. I hope you can see what is the difference between the good example in the post and mine! Thank you
First, the player is playing your chart as written. It’s playing the FINAL form repeat and when it arrives at the first coda sign it jumps to 2nd one plays it, adds the final auto-chord and quits.
If you set the player to 2x you get more than you want, if you remove the 1st coda sign you get an unwanted 4 bar A7 tag.
I think this chart plays as you want
Rock N Roll 1 - Led Zeppelin
I changed your A to IN so it would only play once.
I changed your B to A.
I changed your x4 to x3 and set the player repeats to 2.
See below for a way to prevent the final auto-chord.
Here’s another way to do it.

I shortened your x4 B to x3. Condensed it to make more space on the page. Copied and added the 4th B repeat only as far as the ending you want. I added a “bonus bar” of NC and an END instruction to make the drums play your ending and finish with a single hit/crash.
The example had an intro, you used a non-repeating A section and had the player repeats set to 1x.Quote:

I didnt think that I had to touch the player repeats, and with setting a x4 in the paper it would be enough, i wonder why not but i accept it.
The last thing I dont get is why in your example it sets a x4 and the final 4th end is the different, but in mine you had to set a x3, because there are 1 more.
Thank you so much for the help.
