Song Structure Planner
Enter the tempo, beats per bar, and note value represented by one beat, then arrange sections and review their calculated times.
A QUICK WALKTHROUGH
How to use this tool
- Set BPM, beats per bar, and beat note value.
- Add section names and bar counts; move sections up or down.
- Calculate each section and the total duration.
User-defined meter
The calculation uses your beats per bar and beat note value. BPM is interpreted as beats of that note value per minute; no fixed 4/4 assumption is required.
GOOD TO KNOW
Common questions
Does it assume 4/4?
No. Enter the beats per bar you want. A common 4/4 setup is 4 beats per bar with quarter-note beats.
Does it suggest chords?
No. It only organizes your section names and calculates time.
