2 sets of repeats . in loop, the second one doesn't repeat.
Is this always been the case?

I was cycling the first two lines of this exercise Miguel Pons just put up.

thanks we will look into this.

Yeah, and when you cycle three lines of it, it's the 3rd line that doesn't repeat. Pretty important for practice. Happens when you have two or more repeated sections on the same line, too. Whichever is the last repeat section in the Cycled zone doesn't repeat.

Just to clarifie , You're not saying this is a good thing, just something we have to deal with?

The loop feature is awesome but you can't do everything you always want.
Second endings can be problematic.

I'm not a programmer, so I have no idea what's tough to fix and what's easy. iReal Pro is amazing just as it is.

Apparently, when the (temporary) loop you've set plays its final measure, the (now looping) player figures it's done its dash and recycles (ignoring the final repeat sign).

The loop-repeat is triggered before the section-repeat (if it closes the final bar in the loop).
I guess dem's da rules.

second repeat won't loop!

From a long practice exercise, I'm trying to loop two adjacent 4-bar sections, each has a repeat sign. The second 4 bar section does not repeat, it just loops back to the beginning of the first 4-bar section.

Has this issue been addressed by iRealPro yet? I have not seen a solution and I am very frustrated! I have directed many students to buy the app and it's not working well because of this issue.

A quick work-around: edit (a duplicate?) and insert one measure of N.C. after the 2nd repeating section.
Include the "extra" bar in the loop. It only a few clicks...

... loop two adjacent 4-bar sections, each has a repeat sign. The second 4 bar section does not repeat, it just loops back to the beginning of the first 4-bar section.

We will look into this, but cannot promise anything at the moment.
For specific practice, a separate song with just those chord progressions could be created (but I know you know this).

(You can copy then paste into a new song. Repeats go up to 30x plus you can copy/paste the 4 measure sections twice, delete the internal repeats, but enclose the (now) 16 measures in a global repeat, so this should give you 60x.)

Is this what you have? Just tried this and it worked fine. When both sections have repeat bar lines, it doesn't work right now, there is a bug we have to fix. Could you post your song? Thank you!

I suspect the A section of this example chart represents the described looping issue. The (edited) B section is one possible work-around.

Thank you Bob!
Yes, this one is on our list to fix.

 

[rodjazz]

Hi Niki, not sure this was already solved, but my iReal is showing this same issue (2021.12 (20211201) MacOS).

Does it still on the list to be fixed?

Thank you!
