Feature requests

[DaveRobinson]

Thanks for the link his article about using links (not URL's) in Logic is very useful.

NoProblem, there's good tutorials on that site

Maybe in the future iReal b and Logic will integrate and the charts from iReal b will be importable. I hope so.
For now check out the apple logic help below.
First thing to look at is creating a Library for your iReal b chords, then check out about naming the chord using iRb naming convention.

(60 iRealb chord library) a name something like the one here will go to the top of the name list.
This makes it easier when you've got a lot of chord grids to add.
The first image in the link shows the chord C 9 …
Once your chord is created look to the [Name] selector box in the inspector field above the search functions.
Typing C9 here will reflect in your created chord grid, C 9 becomes C9 as you choose your iRb library.

I'm not sure if this has been asked before (27 pages on this topic so far, not enough time to read them all! ) but is there any plans, or it it possible, to control irealb with a blue tooth device, in particular the Airturn Bt pedals? Moving up and down songs in a play list etc would be awesome.

While on the subject of blue tooth, it would be also great if you could sync devices together and have one choose the chart to be displayed (ala OnSong).

Airturn: yes https://forums.irealpro.com/threads/Ad-hoc-networking-of-multiple-devices&p=15367.6052/#post-15367

Airturn in iReal b iOS version only (currently)

Request for additional combination styles

I've got a few requests for additions to this great app, which I use all the time. I tell everyone that I have a bassist and a drummer living in my iPad that I can call on whenever I play the piano and believe me, they are impressed the the sophistication of my electronic friends.

I've posted before with requests for combinations styles much like the existing Latin/Swing style (Latin on A sections, Swing on everything else during the first and last choruses, and swing on the middle choruses). I've previously requested a similar Bossa/Swing style. I'd like to add another request: a Bolero/Swing style.

I'd also like to request again a Ballad/Double-Time style (slow ballad for the first and last choruses, double time for the middle choruses).

Thanks for considering these styles for future releases.

I am in an informal group that use IReal b for training. It would be nice if we could have multiple devices running together in a master slave mode. I heard about WIST: Collaborate across iOS Devices & Apps.

Any chance of doing this?

WiST is IOS multi device syncing

How bout a way to link songs together so a playlist can be made that then plays from one song to the next, for practicing
Ie a code at rather end of the song that triggers rather next event

I've had the same thought. However, I've made other requests (see above 5/4/13) so I held off on this one!

On the chord diagrams have an option to display the notes or the interval instead of just a solid dot.
This would make learning and understanding chords easier.

Also some way to enter your own chord diagram into the library and use it as an alternative to existing chords or give it a different name.

Cloud sync

Cloudsync between your deviced would be very handy. Perhaps also to be able to automaticty share playlist update changes to invited users.

It would be really useful to have an option when printing to combine consecutive rows into a single row to produce e.g. an 8 bar per line printout.

The problem with specifying x measures in a system is first/second time bars etc. where you might want 9 across, or where there is a 7 measure section etc.
You could send the musicXML to notation software and lay it out as you wish.

 

[Dimitsos]

Could you fix the tempo thing on the songs, so I don't have to open my real book and set the right tempo each time?

 

[Biver]

Any chance of adding MIDI functionality to this so I can choose my own external instruments? Something simple in function which is no doubt easier said than done.

Currently (you might have already discovered) you can export the midi file (the drum track is not much use as it is configured for our internal sounds not the general midi drum map.) This would give you a file for bass and piano/guitar for a sequencer.
Thanks for your idea, yes it would take time to implement.

The last tempo set should be remembered for the song within the song index or in a specific playlist. Is this not happening? Check you have the latest version on your device (backup before you update for safety.)

I would very much like to,see a ukulele chord package

 

[canberk]

what if irealb had a photo import option with image recognition capabilities. then it would see chord symbols, time signature etc. would be so great. should'nt be so hard.

Tuning
I have a lot of guitars with locking systems tuned to Eb. A tuning control for playback would great, without effecting the name of the chords.
i.e. I want to see Em on the chart and hear Ebm.
