I know this all has been asked for, I'm just adding my vote.

Can you add a key character for band/chord/drum "hits"? You know, where the chord has an "x" symbol to indicate where the kicks are for a drummer etc? this could also include slurs to half notes etc (i.e drummer notation)? We usually see this below the chord notation.

thanks

As Nimbleswitch said, it will automatically add a right barline at the end of a system when you insert one at the beginning of the next system. If you want any other barline at the end (double, final, repeat) you will have to change to Symbols for all the choices.

Barlines inserted at the BEGINNING of a system also make barlines show at the END of preceding system. I have found sometimes editing a chart with right barlines to be confusing in layout, when deleting or inserting measures. I have no problem with using only left barlines, since there really is never a need to insert a single right barline.

From some posts somewhere else a short while ago (bugs?), someone noticed that barlines inserted at the left or the right of a measure create different behaviors with the player.
They were talking about double-bar lines, but it was a behavior not intended by the developers. I wonder if something analogous could happen by indiscriminately using left or right bar lines...

it'd be great to be able to designate the bass notes as, e.g., /E1 or /E2. And for those who enjoy bass guitar (not me) you might start with /B0 and go up to /E3, which would give 2 full octaves to even the double bass players. That'd be something bassists here would really dig.

I busk along with iReal Pro with saxophone. In the winter the cold flattens my instrument beyond it's ability to tune up by pushing the mouthpiece further on.
I would really appreciate being able to flatten iReal Pro by nearly a half step.
I know I can change the key down a half step but that is too much.
Any hope of this being added by next winter?

There is probably an effects app you can use with the AudioBus app (iReal Pro as Input, pitch shifter as Effects) (iOS only). Or just use a (guitar) pitch shifter (pedal) if you use an amp.

We might take a look at pitch some time in the future but not at the moment.

suggestion for update:

have the verse count larger and/or the final verse blink.

thank you. love the app.

I know it would be artificial, but I think it would enable us to Playback chords and/or bass notes on the "and" beats in what could effectively be 4/4 time. So we could effectively Playback bass 8th notes and the chords on the 8th beats in some of Gershwin's measures. (Of course, if you could find a way to just directly add chords on the 8th beats in 4/4 time, even better.)

This combined with the ability to designate bass notes from /B0 to /E3 (or even higher?), which I already have wished for, would surely be loved by bass players, wouldn't it, Massimo? :-)

Thanks for even considering all these requests we're constantly making.

Ability to enter and Playback m13 chords

Gershwin, again.

This Q could be addressed if we could ..

specify the inversion of a chord.
On the piano playing Eb^ C-7 Ab^ F-7 all in root position outlines a sort of descending melody of D Bb G Eb .
If we could specify inversions we could theoretically have iRealb play heads

The first line here demonstrates how the descending chords i'm going for are muddled in inversions

This is my first post, so maybe this has already been discussed. Is there a way to change styles in the middle of a tune? Like "Latin" for 8 bars then "Swing" for 8 bars then back to "Latin?" If not, that would be a great feature. Thanks.
