    Default Backing tracks skipping bars

    I have been using iReal and especially the backing tracks for practice for some years. I have recently found with 3 charts (so far) that the backing track sometimes skips bars. For example, on the song 'Sail Away' the backing track returns to the top 4 bars from the end. There are no signs to indicate this is intended.

    Strange behavior. For me, this chart plays exactly as written.

    Sail Away - Tom Harrell --test

    If you have the player set for only 1 repeat of the form, it will skip the last 4 bars and go straight to the coda (because with only 1 repeat, the 1st time IS the FINAL time)

    I can't explain the behavior you describe.

    Thanks. That may be the explanation although I am pretty sure I had more than one repeat set. Removing the jump to coda sign cured the problem. I had another example this morning but I traced that to an incorrect end of bar sign. If I find any more examples with no obvious faults I will mention them here. I have an iPOD Touch with the latest versions of IOS and iReal.

    Here's a useful guide about the different ways the coda works in iRp:
