check a song's timing

1 min readUpdated October 12, 2026

a quick listen is usually enough to catch a word that comes in early or late.

1. in the library, select the song.
2. select Check timing.
3. in the Bench, select a line.
4. click into its lane. the song plays from there.
5. if a block starts after its word is sung, drag it left. if it starts before, drag it right.
6. for a small fix, select the block and press ← or → (Nudge earlier or Nudge later).
7. listen again, and fix the next line the same way.
8. select Save (Ctrl+S, or ⌘S on a Mac).

you see Saved, and the song no longer waits under Needs checking.
