A proposed modification to better support landscape orientation slide over in iOS9

[jimsugg7]

On an iPad, in landscape orientation, the left side bar is permanent and cannot be hidden. The chart shows on the right always.

With the introduction of slideover in iOS 9, this creates an unfortunate problem. It would be great in portrait view to use a slide over window for a lyric sheet, notes, lists, whatever. But the slide over obscures the chord chart.

Implementation possibilities:
1. Monitor the application window width property which will shrink when a slide-over happens. Hide the left side navigator when width is reduced, and center the chord chart in the remaining width. (This is probably the best approach.)
2. Simpler: allow an option for the user to hide the left side navigation pane in landscape view.

Here is a screen shot:



As always, thanks for a great program.

Please can I bump this. I'm not sure multi screen is working fully in this app - apologies if I have missed something. Also, support the above request for hide navigator in landscape mode, now that split screen is a feature of iOS (a certain other gigging app now in beta in Apple Store for landscape/split screen, and would be great to have both visible on iPad pro! )
Anyway, great app as it is!

Thank you for your thoughts.
The current version of iReal Pro was not designed for iOS9; we are working on the next update which will have slide over and split screen (where the device supports it). There is a screenshot on our Facebook page:
