Understanding Syllable Counts#

Most singable lyrics have 5-8 syllables per line. This creates natural rhythm and makes melodies easier to write and perform.

Quick Reference#

• Ballads: 6-8 syllables/line
• Pop: 5-7 syllables/line
• Hip-Hop: Variable, often 8-12
• Folk: 7-9 syllables/line

Common Issues & Solutions#

Problem: AI Changes Too Much#

Solution: Add "Make minimal changes" to any prompt

Problem: Lost Emotional Tone#

Solution: Specify mood explicitly: "Maintain the melancholic tone"

Problem: Rhymes Feel Forced#

Solution: Allow near-rhymes and slant rhymes for more natural flow

Workflow Example#

Here's a typical editing workflow:

1. Start: Raw lyrics with good ideas but rough execution
2. Melodic Math: Standardize syllable counts
3. Vivid Vision: Upgrade generic imagery
4. Rhyme Boost: Strengthen rhyme scheme
5. Voice Lock: Ensure consistent perspective
6. Final: Polished, professional lyrics

Tips for Best Results#

• Be Specific: Fill in all [VARIABLE] placeholders
• One Goal at a Time: Each prompt focuses on one aspect
• Review Output: AI may need guidance to perfect counts
• Trust Your Ear: You have final creative control
