Ideas for future updates

Be able to scroll both forward and backward in the tempo bar (i.e. 1 Ballad Swing, 2 Ballad Even, 3 Slow Swing, etc.) This could be done by placing a minus and plus sign at the left and right side of the long tempo bar.

Do you mean scrolling through the selections within the styles pack? This has now been implemented in our update v3.01.

Hi and thanks for the ireal book, it is a great tool for practice. I do however miss some chords like the m7#5 and m13, which is used quite frequently in modern jazz. Using the mb6 chord does not work at all, since it is a different chord.
 
Links to mp3, midi, or videos

I understand that you can't provide melodies, but it would be great if there was a possibility to add a link to each song to an address where one can hear the full song, e.g a video on youtube. Maybe one could even keep the chords in the foreground so that one can read it while the song plays on youtube.
 
My ireal b features wish list:

1) The ability to push chord changes by a 16th or an 8th note. Also an ability to tie a chord over the barline as to prevent it from doing the really silly sounding redundant restatement of the chord in the following bar.

2) An interface that allows you to notate rhythmic hits or accents. These hits would be interpreted differently depending on style, maybe even the option to select which instruments follow the written hits. Rhythmic hits are a major part of contemporary music totally ignored in this app which discourages me from adding a lot of songs that I know will come out virtually unrecognizable.

3) The ability to select individual styles on each instrument track and set the swing ratio for each style. This would dramatically increase the creative possibilities for any user especially if these stylistic combos could be saved as custom styles. Maybe something like that could be covered in some sort of companion app.

4) More styles! If they can be designed in some sort of piano roll mode, I could churn out a couple hundred of them for you. I've been programming software instruments for 15 years and I'm well studied in theory and composition.
I have a large body of work that one could reference if one were so inclined to ascess my abilities. Any style, any era, I can give you multiple variations on it.

I'm sure that I probably have some unrealistic desires here because I know that a phone is still only a phone and can only do so much but these are the things I'd want to see worked toward as the surrounding technologies continue to grow.

I'm serious about the styles. These are decent but I could deliver some killer styles!

Hi, this is a small list of changes I would be happy to see in iRealb:
- pasting text anywhere on the score, w/ the option of variable fontsizes
- barnumbers
- solving text overlapping w/ slash chords (ie, paste ´Fine´right below the chord A/C#)
- section definition A1, A2, A3 etc
- adding to a style (ie, slow bossa) a tempo indication (ie, quarternote = 100)
- more barlines per page (12 bar limit...)
- in the print dialogue: score should be printed starting right on top of the page instead of in the middle (printing a blues: the score sits right in the middel of the page)

Will be continued...
