"Chords" vs. "Symbols" ??

[DaleMac]

... Yup, there's certainly a learning-curve...

Does this mean you've updated to Pro?

Not yet... (just lazy, I guess)

In my current android editor (for example) the entry field select "button" toggles between:
>>Regular chord
>>Alternate chord
>>Text
The "button" is labeled with the current state.

Likewise, the chord/alt. chord button in my iPad editor.

That works fine for me. (as do both of my current app versions....so far)
I use an iPad 1 and a Motorola Bravo, neither of which is the newest technology.

I'm not (generally) an early-adopter of technology.
iReal book and a iPod Touch back in 2009 is a notable and most fortunate (for me) exception.

I wasn't lazy, just afraid. I had too many iReal-dependant jobs in December to worry about learning curves or unpleasant surprises. Now that I have some down time, I think I'll go ahead and press the dreaded "Update" button...

Several years ago when a new irb update required a newer OS, I updated the OS in my iPod Touch (with the assistance of a "genius" at the Apple Store).
I lost EVERYTHING and was charged again when I reloaded my apps.
It was a huge hassle to convince Apple customer "service" to make it right.
It was an Apple issue, NOT irb.

Unless there's some new feature I can't live without, I tend to follow the "don't fix it if it ain't broke” rule.

I hope your update is flawless and you'll tell us what (if anything) we need to know.
