    Default Change song length

    Hello Total Noob here. Just installed iReal today and a;ready need help.
    I opened a blank song, not knowing how long I wanted to make it. and after cranking in a few chori, I now need to make it longer. Is there a way to do this? I've looked without success; I also tried selecting and copying my work into a new blank song, but it came in all shifted to the right and wonky.

    I appreciate any and all suggestions.

    You will have better results if you use one of the built-in templates like 48 bars or 96 bars to start with.

    Getting up to speed writing iRp charts that work in the player, AND are easy to read, AND look nice, AND squeeze onto a single page can be a challenge.

    Here's how I begin a new chart:
    Pencil icon>new song>48 measures
    Then, on the info screen, add title and composer info, style and default key for the song - Done (you can edit anything later)
    Next, time-sig and rehearsal mark (In, V, or A). Then enter chords, change bar-lines as necessary (repeat brackets, double-bar to end section) ending Voltas etc.
    Use the small font only where necessary if chords overlap.

    S and N (Small/Normal chord-font size)

    When the chart is done, highlight and cut any unused bars at the bottom of the chart.

    SAVE.

    Try to play your chart in the player, adjust player settings and edit your chart if necessary.

    View charts from the main playlists. Try to make your chart look like them.

    If you need help, post your chart-in-progress, describe the issue and ask for help.

    Good luck
