Equinox - John Coltrane

Greg,

Very clever alternating 3/8 and 5/8 time to get the syncopation between beats 2 and 3 in 4/4 time!

Thanks much for the tip. I'll use it.

(P.S. Correct visual placement of the chords is not always that important, as the built-in rhythm usually puts them in the right place. But if you want the visual to be accurate, the second chord in each 5/8 bar should be on the fourth beat, not the third. The clave on the Latin 8/8 is on 1 - 4 - 7. )

Cheers,
Jer

I've been asking to fix the coda problem for years. If more people are reporting this issue, maybe the developers will do something about it sooner.
Currently, it's impossible to use both a D.S. (or D.C. al 2nd ending) AND a coda in the same song. The player will always jump to the coda BEFORE even play the D.S. al 2nd ending. That's very frustrating and limiting!
About posts that disappear while editing an existing one, I also have the same issue. I've reported this issue few years ago but nothing has been done to fix it so far

Actually in order to emulate a C#m13, it should be notated as a EMaj9#11/C#. The EMaj9/C# don't have the 13th.
If you don't need the 11th in the chord, then it could be notated EMaj7#11/C#.
However, it would be better if the m13 chord type be added in the library. It's a pretty common chord used in jazz music!

Thanks for validating my frustration. This is the one aspect of irp's programming that I keep bumping up against and it drives me crazy.

Good catch, Cyrille; thanks very much. I just edited that modification you suggested in, and it does sound closer to the recording.

Have you taken the survey for what new features you would like to see the irp programmers work on? It's on a sticky thread somewhere around here, and I'm sure you have lots of ingenious ideas.

Yes, I did fill out that survey times before

Warning: The following chart is not meant for reading purposes. It is designed mainly for IRP to play as close as possible to the original recording. It's basically a minor blues

Wow the way you utilized two bars of 3/4 and a bar of 2/4 was very effective. Nice job, and very tidy looking as well.
