Timing a song (lyrics & chords)

The lyrics editor (on a section's Song area) turns plain lyrics into synced, scrolling lyrics — no JSON required.

1 · Lyrics. Paste the words, one line per line. Leave a blank line for a gap, and put a section name in [brackets] like [Verse 1] or [Chorus]. Press Build lines →.

2 · Timing & chords. Press Play, then tap Space (or the Tap button) right as each highlighted line begins. Each tap stamps that line's start and moves to the next — so you just listen and tap along. End times are worked out for you.

  • Click any line to jump the cursor there; tap again to re-time it.
  • Use −/+ to nudge a line by 0.1s, to play from that line, and to clear it.
  • Turn on Show chords to type chords per line (e.g. F A# Cm).

Save the section and the lyrics scroll in time on the Songs page and each station.
