NooB Request 3: Voicings

* Purchased iRealPro yesterday. Generally happy with it, but I'm posting a few feature requests, 1 per thread. *

I'm a guitar player, and would love to have better options for voicings and chord diagrams to help teach myself to comp better. These are more "really amazing new features" than "these are annoying limitations" requests. (Otherwise known as things-I-would-gladly-pay-more-for. :D )

First, It would be great to have guitar, or a few kinds of guitar (acoustic, clean electric, possibly overdriven) in the mixer.

Next, options for selecting preferred default voicings: for piano, Rooted vs Rootless (and ???) for guitar, a choice of things like Open | Barre | Drop 2 | Drop 3 | 4th.

Last, the ability to set for each slot a voicing, since I may want to play a chord in a particular voicing based on the chords around it.

Thanks.

About voicings, here's what I found out about the player (correct me if I'm wrong):
- All voicings are rootless. The bass is the only instrument playing the root (probably to save polyphony)
- Because of that, slash chords having more than 3 notes (besides the bottom note) are not correctly played.
For example: if you have a FMaj7#5/A, the player will play simply A Major triad, because neither the bass nor the keyboard are playing the "F" note. So the only notes that are actually played are A, C#, E.
Another example, the chord CM7/G (like in the Beatles song "Something":
No instrument is playing the "C" note. Which makes that chord sounds like a G6 or a Em/G which is a totally different chord quality.
