I use i Real B with Logic 9 and I wish there was a way to get the chords into logic Logic can import .mid lyrics maybe something along those lines Logic can not read .xml files unfortunately. It would be nice as well to export the chords as a text file.

Be great!
My workaround was to create iRb Song (Chord Chart) using the 60 chords in iRb then create a chord grid library in Logic containing the 60 chords. Slow work indeed and the chord naming conventions vary adding even more work. 11 more keys to go!
The midi export function is a gem.
Here's the 60 chords in key C.

Thank you Dave this will come in handy. What an undertaking. Great work.

NoProblem!
Took a couple of hours but is worth it.
I don't know how well you know the chord grid editor in Logic?
You may be experienced at using the score but if not here's a bit of an insight into how to make it easier on yourself.
Create a Library dedicated to the iRb chords, it makes it easier if you "Name" the chord exactly the same as the iRb chords are named.
I found this helps a lot when you search the library for future iRb midi imports.

I am not very familiar with it as I am just learning Logic. I was just doing chord grids for a song I was composing but found out that using the chord grid was messing up my melody in the score editor. Here is the discussion http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/vi...hp?f=1&t=94996 on LogicPro Help forum if you are interested. I ended up using a separate track for my chords instead of the chord grid. As for the chord library I have not gotten it to that yet. Thanks for the insight.

Yes, the guys over on the logicprohelp forum will see you right.
It's wise to dedicate empty tracks for chord grids.
Once you've entered your first grid on to the score and selected the chord,
ALT drag the grid to the next bar and double click on it to open the grid library to select the next chord.
You can edit quite quickly once you've practiced a bit.

+1 to this ... especially a march ... even a REAL simple march would be oh-so-useful. Think When the Saints Go Marching In.

... a vote in the ring for blues styles to be added, say for example:

Shuffle
March
Boogie Woogie
West Coast Swing
Swamp Blues
Chicago Blues
Texas Shuffle
Slow Blues
Jump Blues

I'd really to see the inclusion of a practice style with the metronome only playing on beats 2 and 4.

The closest current option you could try is the Gypsy Jazz style use drums only.

Here's iRb Chords written into score.
I've left the chords "Notes" in this version but it took a bit of time.
Notice how I've named the chords using iRb Convention.

Hope this isn't a double post?
