Each non-empty line becomes one bar. Blank lines split verses, hooks, and bridges.
How this counter works
Each nonempty line counts as one bar. Blank lines divide sections. Syllable counts and density labels use spelling rules, so they are estimates rather than dictionary pronunciations. A written line can also take more or less than one musical bar when performed. Check unfamiliar words in the rhyme dictionary and adjust the line to your beat.
