Thanks a lot!!!

I find the piano comping and velocities too agresive for the soloist. It becomes practically impossible for me as a vibist to improvise freely. It's too busy and repetitive. I would also love to have the possibility to have the bass line playing half notes swing during the melody and switch to quarter notes swing during the repeats. Thank you so much for such a wonderful app. Keep on the good work!

Thank you for your comment. You could mute the piano by turning down the volume, especially if you are playing vibes since you can add chords occasionally yourself while soloing. Sometimes I use the Rhodes sound instead (tap the treble clef for instrument options) although you might think the sound is a little like your vibes sound. Also you could try Gypsy Jazz (guitar choices).

I would also love to have the possibility to have the bass line playing half notes swing during the melody and switch to quarter notes swing during the repeats.

One of the options in playback styles in the Jazz pack is Swing Two/Four where the first and last chorus is in two-feel.

Some extra info on each tune would be really helpful , particularly the FIRST note in the melody etc,

The first melody note of a tune is also important for me—actually it's not really the first melody note I want, it's the first downbeat note I want, i.e., the note on the downbeat of the first non-pickup measure.

I first tried adding this start note to the chart using the text feature, but of course it won't change if you change the key of the tune. However, you can accomplish that automatic key change with the alternate chord feature. The vast majority of the time there is no chord change on the 2nd beat of the first measure. So I just use the alternate chord feature in that second beat of the first measure to suspend a small start note up there, hanging over nothing. When you change keys, the start note then changes, too. Sometimes I also use the text feature from the first beat of that first measure to make a small notation in front of that first down-beat note like "db:" so that it looks like "db:Ab" which reads as "first downbeat note is Ab". Works for me, anyway.

Here are some symbols I place in the text field occasionally, then scroll them up to where I want them.

♩ ♪‿ ♭ ♮ ♯

(I don't remember the keyboard shortcuts, but you can just copy and paste them from a text document. Of course, this is infinitely easier on the OSX program.)

Thanks for the playlist "Last Songs" (I don't know the exact english name). But when you select and play songs in this list, the table view is not updated (resorted). You have to leave the playlist and re-enter for that.

My feature request: Make the current song playable (and stoppable) in the control center. Next and previous song selection would be fine also (on base of the latest song list). What is strange, that the last version of iRealPro already "resets" the information about the last song played in iTunes.

A short text field for song notes would be most welcome. Perhaps the middle field below the title.

I'd use it to make note of tempo MM, especially since the Player changes the MM setting when switching styles. But hints like AABA or AABB etc would be useful. I suppose I could put it as text under the first measure, but a subtitle is a better location.

I'm using iRealPro 5.0.1 on my ancient (but still useful) iPad-1. Thanks...Lyle

The issue with an additional text field displayed on the chart is that it would dedicate valuable real estate on a tiny phone screen which could reduce the size of displayed chords.
If there's extra room on *your* chart(s), just insert an empty system (16 blank spaces) and there's plenty of room for your notes at the top of the chart using text. Adding text notes about the song-form to the first (or second) measure has worked fine for me. The text position can be adjusted to display below, above (or in) any measure.

...I'd use it to make note of tempo MM, especially since the Player changes the MM setting when switching styles...

Here's what I use when I want to mark a tempo:

Break Song (F)

Note: the the = symbol is not accepted by the file code, so I substitute ~

Is there next version have ability to produce a note out for each chord for lead guitar ? That would be awesome..

 

[MacSteel]

Why not a new feature of ear training?
Having the ability to clear the grid, then listen to, and rewrite it ?

Where are the degrees notation ?

 

[nimbleswitch]

I need the D.C. command to exclude any Intro section and go back to the actual top of the piece sans Intro. Why would you ever want D.C. to replay the Intro? The only way I can use D.C. now is either to not have an Intro at all or to place the Intro down at the bottom of the piece and start from down there, which is pretty artificial. Why not just have D. C. exclude the Intro?

suggestion to check out the bass notes in jazzstyle.
Sometimes in the first note in the second round the bass plays the 3 instead of the root. Not so nice in a walking bass, imo.

 

[urazyjazzy]

Please add writing kicks above the bars .This feature is the only missing feature from this almost perfect app. Player doesnt need to play it but it could be even better. But for us jazz musicians Kicks are very important symbols in a lead sheet.

 

[rjschmitt]

I second the nomination for a dropbox interface. I have several gadgets that I need to keep in sync and use dropbox for all my other apps.

 

[rjschmitt]

I would also like to cut-and-paste from a text file editor into this app as the editor is the clumsiest part of this highly elegant app (and I say this as both a musician and someone who made their living in the software industry for 30 years.)

 

[rjschmitt]

Neat, but how did you input the note symbol?
