    Right so obviously it’s for a singer.… That’s why the different key… Also it’s her accompanist chart so I just inputted exactly what he had written… I mentioned to him what’s up with the repeat at the very end and not a codesign… He got mad at me so I dropped it but I put in the coda but left his repeat.

    Still I think this post belongs where I put it because the coding people might be interested into why it did this
    Don't post a playlist as the songs in a Realbook if the changes aren't from the book.
    If you do transcribe changes from a book put it in the title RB1, RB2, GGB, Sher, etc

    Applies equally to all platforms. Not just iOS.
    More folks will search Corcovado than “strange behavior” and having the charts all over the forums clutters the search results.
    Interesting changes too.
    Much of the song is in the relative minor E-, but it resolves to G. If set for E- it screws up the auto ending chord if used.
    No big deal.

    This song is in a minor key, definitely. I know that there are a few versions that are resolving to the relative major, but if you listen to any version performed by the composer himself (Jobim), you will notice that it never resolves to the relative major. There's not even a single instance of the relative major chord in the entire song! I strongly recommend everyone to listen to the original version performed by Jobim

    Hello,
    Very common guitar chords in brasilian music such as Corcovado song are G13/-9 or D7/A (no D : A replaces D!) that you can see in
    http://www.bossanovaguitar.com/index...corcovado.html (move mouse pointer over symbol on this page to see guitar chord diagram)

    yet i'm not able to find those guitar diagrams with ireal pro... even for Em7 i dont find the version of the chord shown on this page.

    I also tried this online tool : https://www.oolimo.com/guitarchords/analyze to try other non standard notations of the same chord but unsuccessfully. Is there something i dont understand (already 3 chords i can't find in one famous song) or is this just a well known limitation of ireal pro.
    Apparantly it is also not possible to customize our own chords ... right?
    Any suggestion?
    Best regards

    Chord diagrams in iRp are a useful but not comprehensive resource.
    Custom, user added diagrams are not currently available.

    Fred, you can get the D7/A sound (with no D) in IRP by using F#dim/A (F#dim without the "7")
