    MacOS X UI

    I understand that platform differences are to blame for the difference in UIs between iOS and MacOS but I'm confused about a couple things. When I open the Library on my iPad I can search on ii-V-I and immediately find numerous changes to practice. What I want to do is the same thing on my iMac...

    Minor League - Duke Pearson

    Sorry, I didn't explain it properly. There are 5 bars before the solo starts, so the very beginning, before the first Gm chord there should be 5 bars of rest. No I understand just to use "N.C." Is there a way to insert chords at the beginning of a completed chart without having to essentially...

    Newbie needing help—chord scales/transposed instrument (Bb)

    Well I'm back working with iReal Pro to help my improv skills. I've been neglecting using the app as I've been spending time working on my daily practice, rehearsing the charts in the big band, and studying theory. Right now I'm working on building the changes to "Minor League" by Duke Pearson...

    dflat, Thanks for all the information. Without you I would most likely not be using the app. I'm using it now and learning, and looking forward to exploiting more of its features in the future. Now back to learning all my scales. = ) -tj

    Newbie needing help—chord scales/transposed instrument (Bb)

    I've not been ignoring this thread, but between all of the areas I'm working on during my practice sessions (daily lip routines for endurance, range, flexibility and tone, shedding parts for two big bands, blues scales, and actual improv) I don't have as much time as I'd like to play with iRP...

    Newbie needing help—chord scales/transposed instrument (Bb)

    dflat, So how does this look? I'm not sure if I'm using the #9 properly. I am assuming that doing this is the same as the "+9" in the music, which is augmented, right? Regards, TJ

    Newbie needing help—chord scales/transposed instrument (Bb)

    dflat, Yes, this is an enormous help, and I can't thank you enough for your kindness and patience. OK, I was able to replicate the desired outcome by using your instructions. I was going to show you what I'd done but I started by only inputting the first 4 chords so I could see if it worked...

    Newbie needing help—chord scales/transposed instrument (Bb)

    dflat, I have changed the chords to F in the edit window, although that's confusing. I guess it's because I need to think in concert key because to me the chart is in Gmaj (one sharp, F). I closed the edit window and yes, in normal song view mode I have G check in the bottom right. It plays...

    Newbie needing help—chord scales/transposed instrument (Bb)

    dflat, Attached is the chart and the changes that I want to practice. What I want to do is to input the chords for the solo (G, E7+9, A7 Ami7/D, G7+9, etc.) and then play along with it. I would like to use the chord scales function so that I can see the notes in each change in the key of my Bb...

    Newbie needing help—chord scales/transposed instrument (Bb)

    Thanks to both dflat and Bob for the information. While I'm a "re-entry" player I do understand basic music theory, as well as the distinction between the key of my horn, other instruments, and concert. I've spent several hours with iRP and have tried dflat's suggestions, but I still can't get...

    Newbie needing help—chord scales/transposed instrument (Bb)

    Bob, I fear either I'm doing something wrong or not communicating clearly. I think that I AM using the chord scales diagrams, and they're the ones that are reading concert whilst I'm playing a Bb chord. For a newbie, I can't transpose on the fly and pay attention to the measure I'm on as well...

    Newbie needing help—chord scales/transposed instrument (Bb)

    Bob, Thank you for taking the time to respond. Yes, I have "Transposing instrument" in prefs set to Bb and set the editor for the song the key is in. I guess I don't understand the value in having the player display in A. As a novice improviser I need/want to see the notes in the chords as I...

    Newbie needing help—chord scales/transposed instrument (Bb) Hello! Apologies for asking what is most likely a common question but I've spent a good amount of time watching tutorials, videos, and reading the online manual and I'm still confused. I'm running iRP v8.0.2 on my iMac as well as on...
