The Song Structure Timer is a precision utility for musicians and producers to calculate the exact timing of musical segments. By providing the BPM (Beats Per Minute) and time signature, you can use get_bar_rhythm_metrics to find the duration of beats and bars. The tool also allows you to calculate specific section lengths with calculate_section_duration and generate a complete, timestamped song timeline using generate_song .song_timeline. This is essential for recording reference, arrangement planning, and mastering.
