RHYMEBOOK APP GUIDE
Writing Lyrics in RHYMEBOOK
Everything you need to know about creating, formatting, organizing, and managing your lyrics in the RHYMEBOOK app.
Creating Your First Note
Tap the + button on the Notes tab to create a new note. Choose a note type that matches what you're writing:
- Song — A complete song with multiple sections
- Poem — Poetry or spoken word pieces
- Verse — A standalone verse or bars
- Chorus — A hook or chorus you want to develop
- Freestyle — Off-the-top writing, no structure needed
- Idea — Quick ideas, phrases, or concepts to revisit later
- Other — Anything that doesn't fit the above
Give your note a title and start writing. Don't worry about getting it perfect — you can always edit, reorganize, and refine later.
Formatting Your Lyrics
RHYMEBOOK includes rich text formatting so you can style your lyrics just how you want them:
Bold — Emphasize key words, punchlines, or important phrases
Italic — Mark ad-libs, whispered lines, or performance notes
Underline — Highlight rhyme words or phrases to revisit
Text Colors — Color-code different voices, rhyme patterns, or sections
Line numbers appear alongside your lyrics for easy reference — useful when discussing specific lines with collaborators or when counting bars.
Using Section Markers
Section markers help you organize your song structure directly in your lyrics. RHYMEBOOK recognizes these markers and uses them to calculate your writing statistics automatically.
Available markers: [VERSE], [CHORUS], [BRIDGE], [INTRO], [OUTRO], [PRE-CHORUS], [HOOK]. Add numbers for multiple sections (e.g., [VERSE 1], [VERSE 2]). Learn more about song sections in the Song Structure Guide.
Organizing with Folders, Tags & Colors
Folders
Create folders to group related notes — by project, album, genre, or however you think. Drag notes between folders to keep your library organized as it grows.
Tags
Add tags to notes for quick filtering. Tags work across folders, so you can tag notes with a mood, genre, or status (like "draft" or "finished") and find them instantly.
Colors & Pinning
Assign colors to notes for visual organization — helpful when scanning a long list. Pin important notes to the top of your library so they're always easy to find. Archive old notes to declutter without deleting.
Writing Statistics
RHYMEBOOK automatically tracks detailed statistics for every note in real time:
Words
Total word count
Lines
Total line count
Syllables
Total syllable count
Bars
Lines per section
Sections
Verse, chorus, etc.
Use these stats to keep your verses consistent — matching bar counts between verses creates a tighter, more professional song structure.
Note History & Versioning
Every edit you make is tracked. RHYMEBOOK keeps a version history for each note, so you can see how your lyrics evolved over time and restore any previous version if needed.
- •View history — See a timeline of all changes made to a note
- •Restore versions — Roll back to any previous version with one tap
- •Track collaborator edits — See who changed what in shared notes
Tips for Writing in the App
Use daily writing prompts
RHYMEBOOK offers daily prompts to spark inspiration when you're stuck. Open the app and check the prompt — even writing four bars is progress.
Embed voice memos
Record melodies, flows, or rough ideas directly into your note. Play them back while editing your lyrics to stay in the pocket.
Add cover art
Upload or generate cover art for finished songs. It appears on your published profile and makes your work stand out in the feed.
