Pro Tips for Song Structure
- •Start with a genre preset to learn common structures, then customize to fit your song
- •Adjust BPM to see how tempo affects song duration; faster songs feel shorter
- •Use the move arrows to experiment with different section orders
- •Copy the structure as text to reference while writing or share with collaborators
About the duration estimate
The duration assumes four beats in each bar at a steady tempo. It does not include pauses, tempo changes or pickups. Presets are starting points, not rules for a genre. Your arrangement is kept in this browser while the page is open. Copy it before you leave if you want to keep it.
Open the writing room to draft lyrics for your sections.
