...You probably will not believe this, but when the idea of the player was first born, the intention was purely for musicians practicing (not live!)...

Yes, I do know that! And I hope iRealb never loses it's "soul" by evolving too much from it's original mission. I wish I'd had this learning aid when I was just starting out. But even though I've been playing for 50+ years, I never really stop practicing.

me too!

Hey, I've noticed that the iReal b home page encourages teachers to "use iReal b in the classroom with a projector."

Sounds great, but is it possible with the iOS version? (Aside from getting an opaque projector and sitting the iPad on top of it, that is. . . .)

Curious to hear from anyone who has had success with this.

They are probably using the Apple digital AV adapter for mirroring the display.

(or perhaps the VGA adapter which is also available.)

Apparently there are some problems with mirroring in iOS6 at the moment (presumably they will get a fix in an iOS update.) It will not work with iPad 1. If you are interested, make sure you test this before you buy to make sure it will work for you on your iOS device.

Also they could be using Apple TV as a way presenting on a large TV screen.

Could someone post a how-to for projecting irb from the average android smartphone?
I'm thinking in a jam session setting.

normally it would output through its HDMI out? (assuming it has one.) Or do you mean do they mirror? I suspect it depends on the device if it is possible.

Thanks
Googling "my smartphone" +HDMI = nothing useful
I'm afflicted with a serious lack of tech-smarts.

This corresponds with my own experience. My first-generation iPad running 5.1.1, and two different generations of iPod Touch (one the most recent) both running 6.0. All of these output video thru the A/V adapter for other apps, but none of the three devices can do so with iReal b, it seems.

Definitely something I'd love to be able to do.

My post today of (There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays reminded me of something: It would be nice if, as in iTunes, the rare occurance of parentheses, apostrophes, etc. in song titles could be ignored, so they don't get pushed to the very top of the alphabet queue. It would save us from having to doctor-up the real titles. ('S Wonderful comes to mind as another example.)

Also, iTunes ignores articles and doesn't mangle the titles into Foggy Day, A or Shadow of Your Smile, The which looks just plain dorky! Any chance your programming gurus can tweak these features? (P.S. I know we can manually edit the order of songs if they're moved into individual playlists, but that means rearranging them every time we click the "sort" button.)

I know it's been discussed a lot on here but I would just like to bump it again. PLEASE add standard ROMAN NUMERAL support.

How about this? You could set something up so that there could be any number of user defined "display" sets that don't affect the underlying chords providing playback information.
C=I, D=ii, Em7=iii7, Gm7b5=vø7, etc.

This way I can do what I want and deal with space constraints on my own. But really, it should just be another choice like Nashville.

I'm working toward becoming key independent so this feature would REALLY be helpful. Nashville is confusing as hell.

Thanks,
Brad
