I wanted to create a long chart for "Carioca" but when I got to the third section, I find I can't add any more bars. Is there only 32 bars max available to create charts?
Using version 4.0.4 (515) of b on iPhone 3 ver. 4.3.5 (8L1)

Is there a limit?
YES.
It seems that the max number of systems (lines) available are 12. You can only use 9 systems (lines) without the font size becoming automatically reduced.
There are 16 available spaces in each system (line) and with the addition of bar-lines, each space can be a complete measure (but with only one chord)
There are a number of songs I have added that I use 2 spaces per measure (8 bars per line x 9 lines = 72 bars) On lengthy arrangements, I add additional pages (each page is added like a new song)
Hope that's helpful,

You will probably work out why there is a limit to the number of measures... it will get very small on a phone-sized screen otherwise. For some songs you can use repeats, DC and DS.

You can reduce the space in a measure in many instances:

for example a 4/4 song needn't have 4 spaces in each measure, it can be reduced to either 2 or even 1 space (depending on the number of chords in that measure).
Hi, how does one add a second page? Could not figure it out. Advise appreciated. Thx

Yes sorry the 13th system will not display anymore on recent iOS devices after we redesigned the layout in the recent updates.
We are aware either two-page or support for more systems will be useful for longer songs, we have this on a list for consideration in the future.
I can have 12 staves... Is that normal or weird?
Plus, one time I imported a song and it had 3 extra measures at the bottom which were uneditable (hou could see them by dragging screen upwards, but couldn't edit them because the cursor wouldn't go so far), and you could barely see them sticking up from the bottom of the screen.
I got rid of them by deleting the preceding measures.
No, not anymore, and I don't remember what chart it was...
And yes, I know about the 12 - I was mentioning it because pdxjazz was saying 11...
A propos: iRealb is really nice, because it handles unorthodox situations well, I think: I put 12 staves in a chart, then lowered two of them to separate the sections. It displays them perfectly! (although to edit I have to move by cursor because I can't tap on the last line).
Live freely. Respect the planet.
