Melody?

[jhall69]

Hi there,

this is my first post, hopefully in the right forum.

How i would like to pratice as a pianist:

Can the accompagniment be configured freely, say,
i want to pratice jazz standards for perfomances with
a singer. Therefore i want the melody only (maybe plus drums)
as a playalong track, while i provide the harmonies.

Is that possible ?

EDIT

okay i just discovered that there are no melodies in the songs,
so the whole thing only makes sense for soloists, not comping
pianists and guitarists resp.






thanks in advance

Jürgen

No melodies
No lyrics
No "lead sheets"
No sheet music, no musical notation.

iReal pro has:
Chord charts only

iReal pro charts with just chord progressions are not subject to copyright issues.
https://forums.irealpro.com/threads/Copyrights-and-rules&p=49.48/#post-49

The app comes with 50 built-in practice exercises.
Thousands of member-posted chord charts can be downloaded from the forums without additional charge.

Any chart or playlist can be easily edited, printed or emailed.

The player feature in the app generates backing-tracks...in any key and tempo in many styles.

If you need traditional lead-sheets with lyrics, iRp probably isn't your first choice, though some users add lyric "reminders" to their iRp charts.

If you want the BEST easily readable portable-format, instantly transposable, "pocket-changes" AND practice tool with a great player feature, plus chord diagrams for guitar, ukulele and piano, even charts in "Nashville numbers", you've found it! What are the "mystery" chord changes in the bridge?..... iReal pro has the answer.

The app doesn't use much memory and doesn't need to have an Internet connection to use the player or display the charts in your library.

iReal pro is the perfect jam session and performance chord chart app for instrumentalists and the perfect practice "band in your pocket" for vocalists as well as instrumental improvisers.

if you have an iPad you can run iReal Pro in the background, viewing a scan, photo or PDF of your Real book pages. There are a few PDF music apps designed specifically for this. Here is an old thread if you are interested:

Melody lines as well as chords

I know this has been mentioned before and I am aware of the copyright issue in providing melody lines to songs. However, I would be willing to pay a full market price to have a complete Real Book on my Android tablet, including melody lines. I have bought every jazz fake book available in the past so why wouldn't I pay for a full iReal Pro?!!!! Keep up the good work, it's still a great app

Melody implementation is wanted

Hi,
I'm glad to use your app.
However for me, it misses the melody part as in the Real Book.
It would be very nice to get the theme displayed with the harmony.
I can imagine that it's a huge amount of coding to append this new functionality to the existing app, but it would lead it to a much higher level.
Good continuation !

Hi Kriss
Years ago the evil publishers tried to shut down iRealPro it was the iRealbook then and had a similar logo as the old illegal real books.
The owners have to be pretty carful with copyright. The original app had all the titles of the songs and then just the chords. You can't copyright chords but the publishers threatened too shut us down because of the titles!!
cut to the chase the forums were born and this wonderful sharing community was created from the evil of the Publishers greed.
Karma Bro

PS I'm working on a way to get lyrics to display. Melody would be a longshot. I think there are apps where you can get what you want buy paying for each song or a bundle of songs. Maybe somebody here can recommend to you a good one?

 

[Kriss]

Tkx for your quick reply Karma.
And for the explanation. I'm sorry about that.
Tkx for your great useful app.

Melody

I would like an option where you could Hear the melody of the song also . This melody could be turned of and on .

 

[CyrilleB]

I think having the melody is not possible for copyright reasons

 

[JSBuule]

Melody

Requesting A section of the song melody, or an attachment of a pdf/image file with melody.

 

[Rbarak]

At if not melody capabilities at least rhythmic notation for intros, breaks and other indications.

Why did you think there would be melodies?
http://irealpro.com
It's a chord chart app with a built-in backing band.
Was there something in the description that wasn't clear?

"Originally posted by Jamesixtsix :

Hi James,
You can learn melodies by ear on youtube. There are apps that can slow down recorded music without changing the
Pitch.

If you read Musical notation, you can purchase "fake books" from Hal Leonard and others. There are many online
Sellers of sheet music.

Some libraries may also have music books.

IReal pro is "chord charts only".

Treble Staff w/ Note Entry & Playback

The addition of staff & note entry/playback would make iReal the perfect songwriting tool.

Band-In-A-Box does that already.

Hello Pastrnak
Have you used any notation programs? I am pretty sure you can export the iReal template with its chords into certain other programs? Perhaps somebody can comment on how well that works.? I have found that with using finale, laying out the bars and putting the cords in is pretty time-consuming. If the iReal format with chords could be imported into finale or Sibelius etc. I think that could be a real timesaver in creating lead sheets.
