Hello Jack, are you trying to get to a specific place/character in the text line in the text box?
Explaining Dale's procedure in more detail: tap-hold with your finger and a magnifier window should open showing you enlarged text of where your cursor is. Do not lift your finger off, if you slide it left or right you should be able to position the cursor anywhere along the text string (and to the beginning of the text.)
This is normal iOS behavior and works in email, text notes etc.

Yes the files are the same so can be emailed to iReal Pro on any device or Mac. Tapping/clicking them from the email will activate importing of the song or playlist. You should find the Mac version is easy and quick to use for creating, editing song charts and organising playlists.
