Build an arrangement with sections

Each section marks a musical part such as an Intro, Verse, Chorus, or Bridge, and takes up a region on the timeline. Together they set the shape of the arrangement.

Double-click an empty area of the timeline where you see the prompt Double-click to add a section. A new section appears at that bar.

Timeline with an added Verse section

Click the section label and type a meaningful name. Use names such as Intro, Verse, Chorus, or Outro so the arrangement reads clearly in the timeline and in exports.

Hover over the section until the drag handle appears. Click and drag the section left or right to reposition it. Sections snap to the bar grid.

Drag the right edge of a section to make it longer or shorter. The ruler above the timeline shows bar numbers so you can line sections up with exact lengths.

Click the section to select it, then click the delete icon on the section. Confirm the deletion if a dialog appears.

A typical arrangement might look like this on the timeline:

  • Intro at bars 1–4
  • Verse at bars 5–12
  • Chorus at bars 13–20
  • Verse at bars 21–28
  • Chorus at bars 29–36
  • Outro at bars 37–40

Use the zoom controls in the top toolbar to zoom out and see the whole structure, or zoom in to edit one section precisely.
