  1. Export any iReal Pro song as MusicXML to open the full chart in your notation software.

    MusicXML carries the chart itself, the form, the structure, and the chord changes, rather than a recorded performance. Open the file in any notation app and you can keep working on the piece with everything already in place. It's especially handy when you've built a song in iReal Pro and want to write a melody over your changes.

  5. Find a recording or a lead sheet for the song you're practicing, right from iReal Pro.

    While you're working on a tune, you often want to hear how it goes or check the written melody. iReal Pro can search for the current song's title on YouTube, or look for a lead sheet online, without you leaving the app. A recording or the melody is always one tap away.

  9. Shuffle any iReal Pro playlist to randomize the song order and find your next tune to practice.

    Staring at a long playlist and not sure where to start? Shuffle it. iReal Pro randomizes the order, so you can start from the top and let the app pick what you play next. It's a simple way to break out of practicing the same handful of tunes every session. When you're done, sort the playlist back to alphabetical.

  13. Set exactly how iReal Pro counts you in: its volume, its length, and the click sounds.

    The count in gives you a moment to get ready before the backing track starts, and iReal Pro lets you shape every part of it. In the Mixer you can control how loud the count is, how many bars it lasts, and which sounds mark the downbeat and the other beats. The Auto duration adapts to the song, giving you more time when you need it.

  17. Match iReal Pro's backing tracks to any instrument that isn't at standard 440 pitch.

    Not every instrument sits at the standard concert pitch of A4 = 440 Hz. Acoustic pianos drift over time, many European ensembles tune to 442, and some horns or organs sit slightly sharp or flat by design. Instead of retuning your instrument, you can move iReal Pro's playback to meet it, so the backing track and your instrument are in tune together.

  21. Double the length of every chord with one setting — perfect when changing styles throws off the harmonic rhythm.

    Where to find it: Style → Bar Length → 2x

    Great for:
    • Reharmonizing slow tunes in Latin or up-tempo swing styles
    • Practicing solos over a more relaxed chord rhythm
    • Creating double-time feels without rewriting the chart
