Song Structure: Blocks

Songs are built from blocks. Each block represents a logical section of the song (e.g. Intro, Verse, Chorus, Bridge).

Block Characteristics

• A block contains:

  • a fixed number of bars
  • each bar subdivided into beats (e.g. quarter notes in 4/4)

• Blocks have:

  • distinct colors
  • variable lengths to improve visual orientation

Best practice Split sections generously. Short blocks for small variations greatly improve orientation during playback.

Block Density & Display (Pro)

At higher BPM values, blocks can become visually dense.

In the Pro version:

• Blocks can auto-adjust their width
• Bars can be shown in a collapsed form
• During playback, the current bar expands into beats to preserve accurate counting
