How to use this workflow
Tie the cue sheet to one file
Put the exact filename and version at the top of the cue sheet. Use section names and short text cues you have permission to share instead of copying a whole copyrighted lyric by default. Record whether timestamps refer to the source, a trimmed excerpt or a slowed practice export. A correct time in the wrong version still sends the performer to the wrong place.
Prepare and verify the file
Use speed independently from pitch when preparing the practice file. Export from the unchanged source, then listen at each calculated position and adjust the cue sheet to the actual musical entrance. Keep lyrics, breathing notes and instructor comments in a separate text document; PitchChanger does not embed lyric timing, generate a transcript or maintain notes with the downloaded audio.
Original worksheet: tie the cue sheet to one file
For an invented source with a chorus at 40 seconds and a bridge at 72 seconds, a constant 0.8× speed copy moves those landmarks to 50 and 90 seconds. The calculation is source time divided by speed, assuming the file starts at the same source point. If you first remove 8 seconds, the corresponding times become (40−8)/0.8 = 40 and (72−8)/0.8 = 80 seconds.
Swipe or scroll sideways to read all columns.
| Item | Value or check | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Cue | Full source at 0.8× | After 8 s trim, then 0.8× |
| Chorus, source 40 s | 50 s | 40 s |
| Bridge, source 72 s | 90 s | 80 s |
| Check | Listen to actual transition | Replace estimates if needed |
Use the worksheet with the actual tool
The example is an authored procedure or calculation, not a measured recording or a claim of successful device testing. Replace proposed positions and observations with your own checked results. Keep the original and reopen the saved output before relying on it.
Common questions
Do cue notes survive a pitch-only change?
Timing should remain comparable if speed and boundaries stay unchanged, but check the export. Rename the cue sheet so its pitch and arrangement version remain clear.
