Creating a song - couple questions

Hi all - have been using iReal as a practice tool for years, but this is my first time creating a song. I'm adapting some pop and sacred music into a jazz context and I want to see what forms feel better, since many of them aren't the usual AABA or whatever.

I'm creating a song, adding the changes and song structures as needed, and I have a couple issues.

1. Once i have the song in, iReal is breaking the line in middle of a bar. In this case it's a waltz, so there might be different number of beats per bar than whatever the standard iReal songs use? I can live with a weird number of bars per line, but I'd prefer ireal not break a line in the middle of a bar!
2. There's one spot in the song where iReal seems to skip over one measure entirely. I've created the form myself and manually added measures and spaces. Any ideas what I could have done wrong here?

it seems ireal exports charts in html format, and this forum doesn't allow html attachments, so I've uplaoded it to my dropbox here, if anyone wants to have a look. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/cirg...ey=bn4lzth6bok94x1l5kll7r4i2&st=lg5zz6bz&dl=0


Thanks in advance!
Geoff
