Hi there
Is there a maximum amount of bars that you can have for the ipad app? Is there an easier way to add more bars than pressing 'add beat' multiple times?
Thanks :)

The number of bars does not really matter. You can usually get up to 8 bars across a system - depends on the number of chords you have in a bar of course. There is no way to add bars, only beats, but you can use the templates if they are near your song's form. Bars can be different widths (have a look through the forum and if you have the 1200 jazz songs or the original library for different bar lengths.) Basically you can have a bar of 2 or 4 spaces, so if we added a "Add bar" it would have to know what width you require.Quote:

I usually tap on the template nearest the form or use Blank, and add the barlines as I am going along. On iPad it is easier than iPhone obviously.
Oh - also you do not have to press NEXT to go along the system beat-by-beat, just tap where you want the chord or barline to go. Can be very quick.
Also check the player works as you input each section (assuming you want to use the Player facility.) It likes clear charts in order to understand what chord is where on the beats (spaces) within the bar. Having a bar with 5 spaces in a 4/4 song with chords on every beat will not work. However for 3/4, 4 spaces, 4 beats in that bar is ok since 3/4 is quite common (we made the player obey the spacings.)
Sometimes you have to move them a space in order to have it play. 4/4 is quite easy obviously.
I have been creating a piece. There are 52 bars in this piece, but I have got to 48 bars and it won't seem to let me add any more. Can anyone advise?
Thanks
Re-read the explanation above, and also here:

Thank you, yes I read further and realised I can reduce the number of spaces. Many thanks :) XQuote:
