No matter what I do -- select piano chords, guitar chords, no chords, it doesn't matter. I tried out the uke chords once and now they're permanent. Rebooting my device doesn't help. Running iOS 8.4 on an iPhone 5C.

Hi Jack
Where are you going (within the app) to make the change?
The chord diagrams icon at the bottom right...
or
The settings icon top right to change the font...
and hey, didn't you ask for ukulele chords?
Be careful what you wish for...
Maybe it's a sign that your True-Calling (TM) is the Uke...

Hey Jack, did you get it sorted out?

Yes, I was changing the chord diagrams, rather than the fonts. Now I can make it work right. Thanks.
Another question, now, though: what is the purpose of changing the chord diagrams?
The font selection (in settings, iOS top right "gear icon") affects the whole chart display.
(Small chord diagrams vs. chord names -- in every measure, top to bottom)
The chord diagrams (icon) is essentially a feature of the player that provides large diagrams (or not) for just the measure that's playing as it plays. ...so you can display the chart with large font (classic) chord names and see large diagrams roll by just as needed measure by measure.
If you're just reading the chart, you will only see the chosen font.
Through the chord diagrams icon, iOS lower right, you can also get to the font selection screen and the chord LIBRARY where you'll find and view diagrams of additional chord voicings (these don't affect or change what the player will play)

Thanks, again. If I had experimented a bit first, I wouldn't have had to bug you with the questions.
Doesn't yet work for baritone uke, though. (Root names are off a fourth.) But it's not that hard to re-memorize finger positions after only 50 years. ;-]
STRIKE THAT! I just realized that if I treat my baritone uke as a transposing instrument and select F in iRP's Transposition feature, the uke chords are labeled correctly for baritone uke. (The small chords in the whole chart; not the large chord that pops up for each measure, that one doesn't transpose, but at least the chart chords are right for bari-uke. Nice!)
Using global transpose is a neat trick.Quote:

Yes, using the guitar chords works just as well, and adds the large pop-up chords. And after awhile you've memorized fingerings for all but the most exotic chords anyway.
Hey, Bob:
"Through the chord diagrams icon, iOS lower right, you can also get to the font selection screen and the chord LIBRARY where you'll find and view diagrams of additional chord voicings (these don't affect or change what the player will play)"
When you say "these don't affect or change what the player will play" - you mean the SOUND, correct? 'Cause I can't get my guitar voicing choices to show on the screen no matter what - they all keep reverting to 1st position.
Yes, sounds. Player chord voicings are selected by the programming and may change each time the song is loaded by the player.Quote:

EDIT:
If you turn on chord diagrams (not the chord font, but the large diagrams that roll by one measure at a time during play) While a large chord is displayed, press on it to pause play then you can swipe to select a different voicing to display.
Tap the diagram to resume play.
Man, that's news you can use!

Ooh, that's a drag. That's a new feature request!
