The Player doesn't play the "alternate" chords, they're just for notation. It will only play what's indicated for "regular" chords, so you'll need to do some editing to play the substitutions.

Alternate chords (the small chords above the main chords) are provided by the chart's author for information only.
The irb player ignores them. To get them to play, you would need to edit the chart (or a duplicate) to make an alternate version with the alternate chords on the main line.

Thanks for the replies. It would nice to have the regular chords for the melody and alternate chords for the solos. Later, Ray
Agreed but, since the Player ignores the alternates, you can get away with typing certain voicings that aren't in the program. It does come in handy on occasion.

One of the coolest features of iReal b is you can make your charts pretty much just the way you want.
If you want different chords during solo(s), just write it out, put it in repeat brackets, tell the player how many times to repeat, then DS or DC to the head to Fine or Coda. However you want it.

How many bars total can be entered in? I used the 1st chorus (32) bars as an intro then a repeated chorus with alternate chords for the solos. After the 64th bar I couldn't add any more bars. Is this a limitation or am I missing the button for more bars? Thanks, Ray
New to ideal pro and jazz in general..
Take this example: https://imgur.com/a/2mfoavq
What do these chords outside of the bar mean?
Are they referred to the Chords underneath them or over them? How to get ideal pro to play them?
